A high proof version of Topanito’s artisan mezcal.

Produced with a base of Espadín agave, which has reached full maturity with a growing period of 7 years. The core of these plants, known as the “piña”, are removed and baked in earthen pits for between five to eight days, creating a smoky, intense flavour. These piñas are then crushed by a Tahona, a traditional kind of millstone which is driven by a donkey. The mash is then added to large open vats, with a little bit of water, where it is left for sometime (Mezcal producers often rely on wild yeast to create fermentation).

The final result is a rich, smoky mezcal which delivers intense flavours of charcoal, burnt wood, black liquorice, peppery spice, green wood and succulent agave, a little chopped herbs, bananas, some espresso, chilli powder and coriander.

This bottling has been presented at “distillation strength”, without any further dilution.

An authentic, traditional Mezcal that rewards patient drinking, but also does well in cocktails.
