Artesanal Papalote Citrus Destilado de Agave Tradicional

🪓 About the product

Papalote Citrus is a celebratory mezcal recipe from El Calvario. Maestra Jeiry starts with wild Papalote, wet‑roasted (low‑smoke) over local marble rocks, then distills a third time with oranges, limes, mandarins, cinnamon, anise, and local herbs. The fruit and spice marry the mountain spirit, never masking its core character. It is bottled at origin with no additives, honoring the tradition of Guerrero family gatherings..

🌿 Tasting notes

NOSE: Bright, sweet orange peel and warming cinnamon, resting over a rich undertone of dark cacao and savoury lift of wild herbs.

PALATE: Sweet roasted agave, citrus peel, and cinnamon transition into decadent cacao, anchored by briny minerality and a rustic herbal finish.

FINISH: Long, warm, and elegant, with the roasted agave sweetness remaining present beneath lingering cinnamon and citrus notes.

PROFILE: A well-balanced expression of agave, citrus, and warm spice. Sip mindfully, neat, or use as a clever base for a Tommy's or premium cocktails.
