Wild Maguey Criollo and Ancho (A. angustifolia rubescens and A. cupreata) are roasted and distilled together, and on the second distillation seasonal aromatics are suspended in the still, infusing the spirit with complex flavors without any meat. The label carries El Doliente de Hidalgo, the banner of the insurgent squadron of death that sought to avenge the priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla during Mexico's War of Independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is an herbaceous mezcal with notes of wild agave and bright citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bold orange insurgent banner label makes it a striking 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\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\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Guerrero agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHerbal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMezcalero:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rodolfo Obregón\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pechuga mezcal artesanal, vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Maguey Criollo and Ancho (A. cupreata)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mazatlán, Guerrero, 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 in a copita with orange slices, or try it in a mezcal Negroni.
