It is bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) in a 700ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePalomo is a family brand with roots in Oaxaca going back to 1930, now in its fourth generation. The recipe for this expression honors family tradition: the chocolate is a grandmother's homemade Oaxacan recipe from the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRipe regional Espadín agaves are baked underground in a conical stone oven for five days, then milled by a horse-drawn tahona. The mash ferments with natural yeast in wooden tinas and is double-distilled into a joven mezcal with sweet, caramel, earthy, floral and smoky flavors. It then macerates for four weeks with the chocolate, and a third distillation produces a clear spirit with remarkable chocolate flavor, with no syrups or artificial flavorings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result marries the smoky soul of artisanal mezcal with the deep, roasted warmth of cacao, a rare and indulgent bottle and a great gift.\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\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky mezcal with roasted cacao.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, caramel, earthy and floral Espadín.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear, with lingering chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Palomo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal artesanal, destilado con cacao\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Espadín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conical stone oven, horse-drawn tahona, wooden tinas, 3 distillations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat from a copita with an orange slice, or use it in a mezcal Old Fashioned or espresso martini.
