Mezcal San Cosme
ABV: 40%
Pack Size: 6 x 70cl
Country of Origin: Oaxaca, Mexico
Production:
The piñas (heart of the agave plant) are baked in ovens, and then mashed by a large stone wheel (tahona) which is pulled around by a mule. Once the juice is extracted it is placed in wooden vats to be fermented for 48 hours. The double distillation utilises a traditional copper pot still, removing theunwanted impurities, leaving only the flavourful ‘heart’ of the spirit.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose Mezcal San Cosme presents an enticing agave aroma with hints of caramel and wood. Upon tasting it offers a gentle mouth-coating feel, with distinct and remarkable flavours of smoky agave mixed with leather and earth. It finishes spicy, warm and pleasant.
