About this destilado de agave
Chacolo Triple Destilado Ixtero Amarillo, Azul Telcruz, Presa Grande, Brocha is a destilado de agave from Zapotitlan de Vadillo, Jalisco. The first time they made this type of triple destilado it was out of necessity, because some cooked agave accidentally fell into the already made 2x distilled mezcal and had changed the color. They decided to redistill it to clean up the color and they loved the finished product. Now they intentionally repeat this every once in a while, adding cooked agave to already 2x distilled mezcal and then distilling it again. This was aged 4 years in glass before bottling.
Chacolo
The Partida family, lead by Don Macario, has been making their iconic “mezcales” for 5 generations in Zapotitlan de Vadillo, Jalisco, however due to legalities they can neither call their product mezcal nor tequila. They are renowned among mezcaleros and mezcal aficionados for the amazing spirits that are meticulously made from the 15 different agave varietals that they have been collecting from their region for three generations. These varietals include 14 A. angustifolia sub varietals and 1 A. rhodacantha sub-varietal.

708 reviewsLot 001 from 2019. A little sour on the nose, but also highly sweet and sugary. Notes of sweet green apples, plum, apricot, grape flavored candy, and strawberry shortcake. The palate mostly matches the nose in terms of notes. It’s highly candied and sweet, thick and robust, and high in minerality. For me, this is the perfect cross between the funky sweetness that can come with a raicilla from this region, and the intense minerality that is typically there in Chacolo batches. This is my favorite bottle that I’ve tasted in quite some time.
