About this destilado de agave
Cinco Sentidos Ancho was created by a small cooperative in the village of Xochipala Guerrero. Together they harvested from their region wild agave “Ancho”, colloquially referred to as such due to its broad leafed “pence”. In response to seeing trees in the region be chopped down but not replanted, the co-op decided that a steam oven would be a more environmentally responsible method to cook their agaves.
