Creador - Mexicano Mezcal
In José Alberto’s home pueblo of San Bernardo Mixtepec and surrounding areas agave rhodacantha, as well as several variations of rhodacantha, grows wild and is also cultivated. Low and broad, with thinner pencas than the angustifolia, mexicano (pronounced MEH-he-kah-no) takes 10-12 years to reach maturity at an elevation of approximately 1651 meters. Cultivated and harvested in nearby Zimatlán de Alvarez, this mexicano is peppery with a dry and refined finish.
Nose: earthy, herbal, cucumber, honey, wet grass
Palate: warm, chocolate, cooked tropical fruit, cinnamon
