{"product_id":"cabalgadura-mezcal-salmiana-jaguar-bottle-700ml","title":"Cabalgadura Mezcal Salmiana Jaguar Bottle 700ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCabalgadura Salmiana is a mezcal from the deserts of San Luis Potosí, made from 14-year-old agave Salmiana and presented in a striking red glass bottle sculpted as a jaguar's head. It is bottled at 55% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Salmiana is cooked for seven days in a 200-year-old oven of brick layered upon stone, with steam seeping through sabine wood floors, which keeps the truest flavour of the ripe agave. It is crushed first with a Roman concrete double tahona and then with a large single tahona stone, fermented naturally in open-air vats with pulque from the same Salmiana, and after three days distilled twice in a 200-year-old copper still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is bright, clean and vegetal, with crisp green bell pepper, fresh-cut grass and lemon peel. The palate brings a hint of olive and fresh serrano pepper, cooked Salmiana and a distinct creamy mouthfeel, finishing with lemon zest, green poblano pepper and a lingering elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sculpted jaguar bottle makes it a spectacular gift and display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green bell pepper, fresh-cut grass and lemon peel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive, serrano pepper, cooked agave and a creamy texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lemon zest and green poblano.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabalgadura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal, Salmiana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave 14 years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 proof (55% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e San Luis Potosí, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml, sculpted jaguar bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita at room temperature.
