Amarás Logia Sierra Negra is a limited-edition joven mezcal from Mitla, Oaxaca, distilled from 12-year-old wild Sierra Negra agave (Agave americana) and bottled at 43% ABV in a numbered lot.
The Logia line is Amarás' collection of limited releases from rare and wild agaves. Wild Sierra Negra is slow growing, and its scarcity limits production. The piñas are cooked in a conical stone oven with volcanic rocks and oak wood, with pink peppercorns and red chilli peppers added to the roast, then milled, fermented in wooden vats and double distilled in copper stills.
It opens with citric and herbaceous aromas, lemon zest and fresh-cut agave. The palate is light and spicy, with very light minerality, a touch of salt and wet granite, and it blends into a sweet finish.
The engraved glass bottle with its hand-numbered label makes it a refined gift for mezcal collectors.
Sip it slowly from a copita.
Mezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.
Mezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.
