Artesanal Ensamble Endemico Destilado de Agave Tradicional

🪓 About the product

Once a year in Sola de Vega, Maestra Engracia crafts a rare, traditional ensamble from four wild agaves: Liso, Arroqueño, Coyote, and Tobalá—hybrids so botanically diverse they invite a question mark on the label. Capped in February and harvested during May’s full moon cycle, the capón agaves are wet-roasted, hand-mashed, and fermented in 80-year-old sabino trunks. Twice distilled in copper, this micro-batch is adjusted entirely to her ancestors’ 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 herbal complexity.

Profile: Bright, layered, best sipped mindfully.
