More to Enjoy
-
Intro:
Distilled by Simeon Apolonio Ramirez, this ensamble of Arroqueno, Espadin and Tobasiche was produced on a single copper refrescadera in the village of San Agustin Amatengo.
-
Nose:
Earthy, savory and loaded with minerality. Some fun cheese notes - more fragrant than a typical counter cheese, lending additional character to the nose.
-
Taste:
Funky and fun. String cheese, rich toasted agave, rising bread, some vanilla bean and a hint of celery salt. Lovely and complex. Ash on the back palate with plenty of complexity to stay interesting.
-
Finish:
Long finish, straying more ash, mineral and clay forward. The smoke note is more wood than chemical.
-
Overall:
I like this and the character is great. It doesn’t reach as high as some other bottling for me, but the quality is undeniable and I enjoy it quite a bit. Very good destilado.
