MEZCALOSFERA 2022 PAPALOTE - ANTONIO SONIDO | 500 ML

This is a different batch made by maestro Antonio Sonido from Pantitlán, Guerreo, Mexico. Don Antonio is a 72 years old Maestro Mezcalero that learned the process from his father and eventually made his own recipe. He remembers his father's recipes clearly using for example lamb as protein for a "pechuga" style distillate, which is Antonio's favourite mezcal to drink.

Antonio works exclusively with maguey Espadín and Papalote cultivated in his land. He has a brand that shares with other members named "Aguerrido".
