Nosotros Mezcal Mexicano (75cl, 45%)

Nosotros Mezcal Mexicano is a single-varietal mezcal made from Agave Mexicano, bottled at 45% ABV in a 750ml format. The agave requires a full 10 years to reach maturity before harvest. It is produced under the direction of Mezcalero Octavio Jarquín in Miahuatlán de Porfirio Díaz, Oaxaca. The agave piñas are cooked underground in a concave pit oven lined with river rock and fueled by oak wood, then crushed by tahona, fermented in open pine wood tubs and double distilled in alembic copper pot stills. Subtle oak smoke drifts in first, followed by bright green herbs, fresh peppers and a delicate hint of mint. The palate is clean, with gentle smoke, vibrant lemon peel, molasses sweetness, ripe peach and fresh herbal notes. The finish is dry and moderately long, with spiced cooked-agave character and a distinct mineral texture.
