Ancestral Ensamble Endemico Destilado de Agave Tradicional

About the product 🌵

This 25cl format offers an intimate taste of Maestra Engracia’s rare Arroqueño. The semi-wild plants grow for well over a decade in the hills above Sola de Vega before her family harvests them capón. Wet-roasted to minimize smoke, the agave is hand-mashed, fermented in ancient sabino wood, and twice distilled in copper. Each single batch is deliberately small—a true representative of her community's gusto histórico.

Tasting notes 👃

Nose: Vibrant lime peel and fresh pine resin, opening onto delicate, night-blooming flora.

Palate: Bright citrus and lemongrass met by a cool wet-stone minerality, giving way to wild flowers and crisp mint.

Finish: Long, elegant, and distinctively Oaxacan—trailing with sweet floral notes and a subtle herbal complexity.

Profile: Bright rather than heavy—even a small measure reveals the extraordinary lift of this careful ensamble. Sip mindfully.
