It is an ensemble of Espadín and Tobalá, bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is produced by third-generation agave farmer and maestro Javier Mateo and his family in Santiago Matatlán. The agave is pit roasted with black oak and ground with a tahona, then goes through a wild fermentation using pulque as an aid, with water from the ancestral Zapotec town of Mitla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a round, full-bodied, viscous mezcal with a light smokiness that gives way to minerality and delicate fruit. Aromas of fresh jasmine, citrus, pine and acacia honey lead to citrus and pine with rich agave sweetness, traditional spice and subtle smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA characterful expression of Oaxacan tradition, it is a fine gift for mezcal lovers.\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\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh jasmine, citrus, pine and acacia honey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrus, pine and rich agave sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional spice, minerality and subtle smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Derrumbes (Maestro Javier Mateo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal, Joven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espadín and Tobalá\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96 proof (48% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, slowly, from a copita.
