Ancestral Ensamble Endemico Guerrero Destilado de Agave

About the product 🌵

A 25cl discovery bottle of Amairany’s inaugural release, an ensamble of endemic, hybrid Zacatoro and Papalote agaves she identified on the hillsides of El Calvario. Wet-roasted as per local tradition, hand-mashed, and double-distilled in Filipino clay pots under Maestro José Toribio, this singular harvest yields a rustic, complex character. This is her commencement: a unique way to taste her work and support a young distiller carrying ancestral traditions forward.

Tasting notes 👃

Nose: Sweet roasted agave and rustic wet hay open into toasted barley and raw honey.

Palate: Rich hazelnut, wild tree bark, and aromatic copal resin layer over a deep mineral foundation of dry clay and river rock.

Finish: Long and persistent, leaving a warm echo of crisp grain and wet stone.

Profile: An earth-forward and mineral-driven spirit with rich grain depth. Best enjoyed neat and sipped mindfully from a traditional copita or veladora glass.

The Secret Serve: Pour a neat measure directly over premium macadamia ice cream for an absolutely heavenly dessert experience.
