5 Sentidos Puntas Espadin Mezcal

This 5 Sentidos Puntas is produced by master palenquero Eleuterio Perez Ramos. Eleuterio, who is also known as “Tio Tello,” used maguey Espadin in this batch. After cooking the agaves, Tio Tello, along with friends and family members, chopped the agave into small pieces with a machete, and then mashed them with large hammers made of mesquite in a wooden trough. Once mashed, Tio Tello allowed the mash to ferment with well water in cypress sabino tanks. He then distilled the fermented mash in a single copper alembic style still at his small palenque in El Nanche, Oaxaca. This being the puntas of the batch, means that it is the first cut off the still, with higher ABV.
