Del Maguey Mezcal Barril

Del Maguey Barril is made from semi-wild maguey Barril. Barril is one of the biggest and fattest of the karwinskii family. The agave used in this mezcal was fermented with nothing but airborne microbes, then twice distilled very slowly in an ancient style clay still with bamboo tubing. This mezcal has a spicy floral nose with tropical aromatics of ripe pear, dark fig, and wet green hay. The long finish tastes of roasted root vegetables and umami, leaving the mouth with terracotta and a touch of salinity.
