Palenqueros Alberto Ortiz Espadin Agave Spirit
Producer: 4th generation master palenquero, Alberto Ortiz
Location: Bramaderos, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, where he began working with his father at the age of 11
Cultivated Espadin, Agave angustifolia, was cooked in an 11-ton oven pit before it was crushed by hand using a mesquite mallet in a stone canoe. A 7 day fermentation was carried out in pine wood vats using only the ambient yeast of the distillery before being distilled on a 350 liter copper pot still.
Tasting notes: Delicate, creamy sweetness, with notes of hazelnut veering towards citrus and pineapple. Salty notes, which on the finish give way to a sweetness of ripe fruit and roasted corn.
