Macurichos Mezcal - Espadin Destilado Con Cacao

Mezcal produced in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca

• Maestro Mezcalero Valentin Martinez Sernas

• Made from 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia) matured between 6–12 years

• Cooked in conical earthen pit oven using pine and mesquite wood

• Milled using traditional horse-drawn stone tahona

• Fermented in Encino oak vats (tinas) using proprietary well water

• Distilled twice using a traditional clay pot Filipino still

• The second distillation sees the addition of fresh Oaxacan cacao made by Gonzalo’s sisters

• Rested 21 months in glass

• Hot cocoa on the nose; the palate is graceful and light on its feet with pink peppercorn, jasmine, and herbs; light but pronounced smoke gives a mature backbone to the notes of cacao and the finish is salty and earthy

• 48.8% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

Oaxaca is famous for its chocolate and with good reason! The aroma of this spirit transports you to a roadside comida in Matatlán, the scent of hot cocoa rising to meet you long before you even get your nose to the glass.
