MEZCALOSFERA 2022 ESPADÍN / JABALÍ - JUAN AQUINO | 500 ML

Juan Aquino comes from family of maestros Mezcaleros. He learned from his father, and now at age 61 is passing the torch to his sons and other younger relatives. He likes drinking Bicuixe, and enjoy making mezcal using his own plants from his land. He is one of the few master distiller that works with maguey Jabalí (Agave convallis). This maguey is very hard to work with because it foams during fermentation and distillation. This mezcal is only cord, meaning no adjustments with heads and tails like other maestro do, so after the one distillation you only get the pure "heart" of the spirits.
