DESCRIPTION
• Destilado de agave produced in Yeguesia, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, and bottled under the In Situ label, Mezcasiarca (NOM EM-012-SC) • Maestro mezcaleros: “In Situ Team” • Distilled from 100% Arroqueño (A. Oaxacensis oaxacensis) • Cooked in a traditional earthen oven • Milled by hand using wooden mallets (mazo) and mechanical crusher • Fermented in open-air wooden vats (tinas) made of oak • Distilled twice using traditional Filipino-style clay pot stills; distilled to still strength (alta gama, meaning “no adjustments”) • Bold aromas of toasted hazelnut, salted caramel, burnt orange, hot iron, and fresh soil, giving way to a racy yet subtly sweet palate featuring notes of coriander, hibiscus, taffy, damp hay, cherry bark, and wet stone • 125 liters produced • 49% ABV Distillation of Arroqueño in Oaxaca leans broadly in two directions: thick, sweet examples produced using traditional clay pots, and vegetal, buttery numbers produced using copper alembic stills. This inspired batch manages to strike both chords, walking a line between bright and earthy—which makes sense considering it was made in Miahuatlán using clay pots rather than copper!
