Destilado de Agave Azul Telcruz

Destilado de Agave Azul Telcruz

  • Destilado de Agave produced in Zapotitlán, Jalisco, Mexico
  • Maestros Mezcaleros Macurio & Miguel Partida
  • Made from 100% Azul Telcruz (Agave angustifolia)
  • Agave is cooked in an earthen pit oven using a mixture of mesquite and guamúchil wood
  • Milled using axe, mallet, and a small mechanical grinder
  • Fermented with natural yeasts in deep stone wells and wooden vats (tinas)
  • Distilled in hybrid Filipino-style stills made of a copper pot, hollow parota tree trunk, and rolled agave leaf (penca)
  • 48.53% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

One of our absolute favorites from Chacolo, batches of the rare Azul Telcruz come along only once every year or two. Their slightly elongated piña is dense with sugar and is harvested after 10 years maturation and 3 years capón in the field. The resulting mezcal is full of sweet, potent herbs and a dark, resinous finish full of hemp and pine—an intoxicating and curious profile which draws you back in first by curiosity, and later by sheer deliciousness. Get it while you can!
