5 Sentidos "La Colección Mixteca - Azul y Pichomel" Uncertified Puebla Mezcal (750ml)

La Colección Mixteca is a curated selection of small-batch agave spirits crafted in the rustic distilleries of the mountainous Mixteca region of Oaxaca and Puebla. Each bottling explores the maestro mezcalero’s interpretation of subjecting agave endemic to the region to peculiar production methods and styles that have largely fallen out of favor in modern times. A significant portion of sales from the collection will be used for palenque improvement projects. Series 2019. Maestro Mezcalero Atelo Ramirez works alongside his wife, Laura Arriaga, to make two ensambles. Both use Pichomel (A. Marmorata) in their majority, with this ensamble featuring agave Azul (A. Tequilana). These expressions were distilled in a makeshift combination of galvanized steel, clay, and copper. Both expressions pop with bright, tropical fruit-forward notes on the palate but are remarkably distinct! 180 liters produced.
