Cinco Sentidos Papalote is made by Don Antonio Sonido using 100% Papalote (Agave cupreata) in the community of Pantitlán, Guerrero.
About this destilado de agave
Antonio Sonido, in his 70’s as of 2022, produces mezcal with his son in the dry, high-altitude village of Pantitlan, Guerrero. Antonio’s soft spoken nature allows his mezcal to speak for itself, and it is expressive. Scents of sweet herbs and cream corn compliment the berry and caramelized pastry flavors on the palate. The first batch as part of the Cinco Sentidos Guerrero Collection was bottled in April 2020 and the spirit has had time in glass to allow these flavor components to mingle and meld together, contributing to the texture and finish.
