Crafted from wild Barril agave that takes up to 15 years to reach peak maturity, this artisanal spirit offers a deeply authentic taste of Oaxaca. Master Distiller Carlos Méndez Blas relies on time-honored ancestral methods, slow-roasting the agave in underground earthen pits before crushing it with a traditional volcanic stone mill. The unadulterated strength preserves the plant's essential oils, creating a stunning balance of rich roasted sweetness, bright botanical notes, and a whisper of gentle wood smoke. It is a remarkably smooth pour that invites you to slow down and savor the artistry in every sip.
