Mal Bien - Papalote Mezcal by Ciro and Javier Barranca (Distilled in Guerrero)

MAL BIEN - Papalote Mezcal

Maestros: Ciro and Javier Barranca

49% ABV

Distilled in Chilapa de Álvarez, Guerrero

One of the final batches of Papalote distilled by Javier with his grandfather and mentor Don Ciro before Don Ciro’s passing. Javier continues to produce mezcal as the heir to Don Ciro’s land, fabrica (distillery), and knowledge.

This was made using capón agaves from the neighboring community of Pantitlán, whose quiotes were cut more than a year prior to finally being harvested. Look for an added level of complexity compared with joven batches of papalote.
