Siembra Metl Familia Perez Espadin Mezcal (75cl)

Siembra Metl Familia Perez Espadin Mezcal is an ancestral espadin mezcal from maestro mezcalero Jorge Perez and his son Miguel, distilled near their home in Rio de Parras, Michoacan. It is made from 100% espadin agave harvested at eight years old. The agaves are pit-roasted for 45 days, hand-mashed in eucalyptus canoas, and fermented for 12 days with spring water and pulque. The mash is double-distilled in Oyamel wood and copper Filipino-style stills, and proofed with the heads and tails of the distillation. The nose shows tropical fruit and refined smoke. The palate is viscous and palate-coating, with tropical fruits and a floral lavender note, and the finish is long and pleasing.
