DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
• Destilado de agave produced in Tepeojuma, Puebla, Mexico • Maestro Mezcalero Asunción Matilda Vargas • 100% Espadilla (Agave angustifolia) capón (castrated) one year prior to harvest to concentrate sugars • Cooked in a traditional pit oven made of earth and stone • Milled by hand using an axe • Fermented in a shallow stone well • Distilled twice using a hybrid Filipino-style pot still of clay and wood with an external condenser made of copper (refrescadera)—honestly, a totally wild still • Hoja santa leaves, wild cilantro, and a blanched whole chicken are added to the second distillation • Rested over 1 year before bottling • 55% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch) Inspired by the taste of green salsa with wild cilantro and the pleasure of eating a chicken soup seasoned with hoja santa, this batch is fresh and vibrant, and guaranteed to make mouths water. The oily texture and delicate dance of cilantro and the fennel-reminiscent warmth of hoja santa makes for a joyful pairing mezcal, such that some visitors to Erick’s tasting room in Mexico City have unwittingly likened it to an aperitif, saying, “this mezcal makes me hungry!”
