Peloton de la Muerte Criollo

50.2% ABV

This mezcal is produced in Mazatlàn in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. Maestro Mezcalero Hector Obregon harvests wild grown, fully mature Agave Criollo (Angustifolia Rebecens) which is a genetic relative of the ubiquitous Agave Espadin and is native to Guerrero. The agaves are pit roasted and fermented with ambient yeasts in open top wooden tinas for 5 days. It is double distilled in a Filipino-style still with a copper pot and a wooden cap. It has notes of candied apple, caramel, and feint wood smoke. It is a mezcal of exceptional quality, especially considering the price.
