Antonio is softly spoken, rather allowing his mezcal to speak for itself, and it is splendidly expressive. Scents of sweet herbs and cream corn compliment the berry and caramelized pastry flavors on the palate. After resting in glass demijohns for over six months, these flavor components mingle and meld together, contributing to the unctuous texture and lasting finish.

This Papalote is hand harvested and milled via a mechanical shredder. Fermented in Ayacahuite (white pine) tanks with spring water. Then double distilled in copper alembic still.
