Fidencio Tierra Blanca is a double-distilled, batch-proof joven mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, made from 100% estate-grown Espadín.
The Jiménez family found a vein of white, chalky soil on their farm and planted Espadín there; this mezcal shows how that soil shapes the agave.
The agave is harvested at about 12 years and pit-roasted over black oak for five days.
Made by maestro mezcalero Enrique Jiménez, it is bottled at batch proof, so strength varies from batch to batch.
It is a terroir-driven companion to Fidencio Clásico and Pechuga, which we also carry.
