Artesanal Arroqueño 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: Deep and composed; rustic hay and dry stone fruit lead, balanced by tropical papaya and a subtle thread of tree resin.

PALATE: Rich and buttery; sweet roasted agave and cantaloupe give way to complex notes of tree bark and wild herbs.

FINISH: Long, velvety, and mouth-watering, closing on a bright, crisp snap of tart stone fruit.

PROFILE: A deep, masterfully structured Arroqueño expression in a 25cl format. Even a small measure shows why this rare agave is so highly prized; sip mindfully, neat.
