About this destilado de agave

Pedro Garcia Patricio is a fabriquero practicing the antiquated process of distilling in a “Cuascomite” in the village of Xulchuchio, Guerrero. “Cuascomite” refers to a still that utilizes boiling chamber made out of clay and a condensing cap made out of clay or wood. While most producers in Guerrero use copper pot stills, Pedro and his peers continue to employ this rustic still to create a spirit that stands out from the rest. The usage of clay imparts a substantial savory element on both the nose and taste. The earthiness one would expect from the clay pulls through on the finish in the form of roasted vegetables.

Batch CUASCO 4-21

Bay leaves, oregano, jalapeño, fresh cut cabbage and ripe summer cherries jump at your nose. Deep red fruits lead the palate with other dark berries, cherries, moss, and ash. Mouthfeel is very full and creamy. Cherry jam and cigar smoke leads you to a long and rich woody finish.
