{"product_id":"fidencio-mexicano-mezcal-750ml","title":"Fidencio Mexicano Mezcal 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eFidencio Mexicano is a limited-batch artisanal mezcal made from wild maguey Mexicano, penca larga, hand harvested in Santa María Zoquitlán in the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca. It is bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMexicano is the local name for Agave rhodacantha, one of the most widespread agaves in Mexico, with several sub-varieties. The long-leafed penca larga used here grows wild, so each plant is gathered by hand from the hillsides, and a batch is limited by what the land provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction is overseen by maestro mezcalero Enrique Jiménez of Fidencio, the family mezcal house of Santiago Matatlán. The wild agave gives a mezcal with intense aromatics and a bright, crisp profile, with earthy depth, tropical fruit and a savoury mineral edge, and a clear, lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a silvestre, or wild agave, expression, Mexicano is one of the most prized bottlings in the Fidencio range.\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 Intense aromatics with tropical fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and crisp, with earthy depth and a savoury mineral edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and lingering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fidencio Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaestro Mezcalero:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enrique Jiménez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Artesanal, wild agave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Mexicano penca larga (Agave rhodacantha)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 proof (50% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa María Zoquitlán, 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\u003ePour a small measure into a copita and sip slowly at room temperature.
