Siembra Metl "Miguel Perez Estrada" Lot 2 K&L Exclusive Agave Inaequidens/30% Quiote Distilled With Lemongrass Rio Parras Michoacan Mezcal (750ml)

An absolutely bonkers edition from the famous distillery in Rio Parras, home to the impossible to find Mezcalante brand of Mezcal. This tiny batch was bottle for David Suro in the Siembra Metl line exclusively for K&L. The special distillery owned by Jorge Perez and his son Miguel is renowned in the region for creating extremely high quality mezcal from the local "Inaequidens" varietal (also called Alto). Jorge is considered a master and his products are so well liked that they've been known to be counterfitted locally. It's said by some that the only way to know if you're buying a real bottle is if you buy it from him directly. Of course, David Suro is doing just that, or in this case from Miguel his son. The vinyata (local name for distillery) is also known for offering a variety of flavored mezcals with other ingredients added either during distillation like a pechuga or after called abocado. In this case, Miguel added lemongrass during the double distillation. The resulting spirit is one of the most interesting and unique on the market today. The powerful green herbal and fruit flavors of the inaequidens coupled with the grassy citrus notes of the lemongrass provide a surprisingly drinkable and balanced profile. The lemongrass is obvious but not so overpowering as to be obtrusive. This unique lot produced an staggering 18 bottles. Yes that's right, we only have 18 bottles of this special batch. We're honored to continue our support for the Perez Family.
