Cuentacuentos, Espadin Mezcal, 750 ml

Cuentacuentos Espadin Ancestral is produced by Ángel Cruz. Once harvested, the agave is cooked for 72 hours in a traditional underground horno and then milled by hand with a wooden mallet in a canoe. It is then naturally fermented in 8-9 days and doubled-distilled in clay pots. His espadín is a good example of what technique can render from the commonly used agave Angustifolia. It is creamy, sweet, with a hint of vanilla and tree nuts.
