Erstwhile Mezcal Henequén (2018 Limited)
$ 139.95
A must-have for any serious mezcal collector. This is the first mezcal made from the Henequén agave that is available in the US market. This distillation, made from cultivated Henequén agave, is a small-batch limited edition of 397 liters (roughly 500 bottles) from the personal collection of master mezcal producer Juan Hernández Méndez in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca.
Master Mezcalero: Juan Hernández Méndez
NOM: NOM-0496X
Agave Varietal: Henequén
Scientific Name: Agave fourcroydes
Town / Municipality: Santiago Matatlán
State: Oaxaca
Fermentation: Natural, Open-Vat Fermentation in Wood
Still Type: Copper Alembic
Date of Distillation: December 2017
Number of Liters in Distillation: 397 Liters
ABV: 45%
Tasting Notes:
Smooth and savory. Mineral and saline notes of clay and wet earth. Reminds us of the smell of fresh rain in the Oaxacan countryside. Also the subtle fragrance and sweetness of corn meal, evoking fresh atole and tamales. It is a smooth easy sipper, so the finish may surprise you: slightly spicy, with a tingly numbness that lingers on the tongue and reminds us of Sichuan peppercorns.
