• Vibrant and complex, starting with aromas of fresh pea shoot, plum skin, sun dried tomato, and wet slate, then diving into a heavier palate of black cardamom, Nilla wafers, milk chocolate, jasmine, Nutella, and a vague memory of buttery lobster bisque (in the best way)
• 120 liters produced
• 49% ABV

A rarity in Guerrero, this Agave angusitfolia is identified as Espadín (more often associated with Oaxacan mezcal). Rich and compelling, this batch is as unique as its nomenclature, with aromas that range from bright vegetal vibrancy to decadent creamy depths. A confounding pleasure, this particular expression likely won’t be seen too often from the brand!
