This unaged mezcal hails from a new D.O. in the Mexican state of Puebla. Master Mezcalier Aurelio Gonzalez Tobon uses 12-18 year-old wild papalote (aka cupreata) agave hearts which are roasted in an earthen pit oven. They are fermented in the open air with natural yeasts, and distilled to proof in a reflux-style alembic still.

Probably my favorite mezcal I have tried to date. Best part was that they didnt have enough for a full pour so gave it to me for free. There’s a distinct umami flavor that is pleasant and not overbearing. There are some faint floral notes and a pleasant vegetal sweetness. Smoke is not a predominant flavor & it lingers ever slightly in the background.
The best of the 7 Del Maguey's I've tried so far. Great from the first pour. A bit of Raicilla funk and fruits on the nose. Cotton candy and sweet fruits with nice warm and mildly smoky finish. This is good mierda!
Delicate smoked vegetables. Smoke there but it’s but subtle. Fruity and grassy. Favorite of the entire bunch. And that’s why @brooklynwino is in charge. #6 in team blind tasting
One nice mezcal with notes of cooked agave, anise, plums, bananas, pineapples, plantains, cinnamon, dark chocolate, pepper, lavender, wildflowers, and smoke.
Very complex on the nose and palate. Nose: sour smarties candy, chalk, baby food No burn up front only on finish. Palate: smarties candy, mineral, vegetable
Soft on the front and a bit hotter on the back end. Buttery sweet corn mid palate with a sour note. One of my favs to date @chiefagave
