Dry Gin Artesanal (Green Label)

• Gin distilled from local botanicals and the spent agave from mezcal production in the district of Tlacolula in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Destilador Gonzalo Martinez
• After it’s use in his family’s mezcal production, spent agave fiber (bagasse) is re-milled by hand using a large wooden mallet
• Combined incrementally with spring water and refermented using only wild yeast
• Distilled once on a copper still (Artesanal) before 15 locally sourced botanicals are added in the second distillation
• Highlighted botanicals include juniper, hoja santa (Mexican pepperleaf), basil, cinnamon, guava, orange & lime peel, eucalyptus, lemon grass, and mint; all botanicals, including the juniper, are sourced within Tlacolula.
• Rested in glass for one year before bottling
• A bright nose of lime oil, green cardamom, and yellow bell pepper is underscored by earthy, sweet molasses and roasted agave piña. The waxy, verdant palate is replete with cilantro, coriander seed, and tarragon, with a lasting finish of orange peel and gooseberry.
• 45% ABV
