Tasting notes
The mezcal is bright and water-clear.
Nose: The mezcal is characterized by a fruity style with notes of baked tropical fruits and smoked pineapple grilled on the barbecue. It also exhibits smoky and earthy flavors. The nose is expressive, balanced, and complex without being extravagant.
Palate: The mezcal presents campfire and dark chocolate layers that complement the fruit on the palate, with additional notes of yogurt-coated almonds. However, it also leans heavily on the smoky and earthy side. This mezcal may appeal more to those who appreciate bolder flavors, as it is described as a spirit for mature palates. The aromatic bouquet are typical of mezcal, with the fruity agave notes blending well with the characteristic smokiness. The texture is good, providing a gourmand and persistent finish with substantial length. It retains a typical character with a long finish and a smooth texture until the end.
A blend of three young or ‘joven’ agaves (Espadín, cupreata and alto), which together create an exceptional and unique flavour. It demonstrates the craft and skill of the Nanakutzi team.ABV: 45%; Location: San Miguel, Michoacán Maestros Mezcaleros: Octavio Miranda Gómez, Everardo Villa Hernández and Luz María Saavedra
