About this batch: This special release, bottled exclusively for the Aficionados Group, was made from a rare and distinctive type of Agave Americana var oaxacensis known locally in Miahuatlan as Pulque Cenizo - a coveted maguey traditionally reserved for extracting aguamiel to make pulque.
T8ke's Tasting Notes: Bright and fresh and full of life: citrus meets light pepper and minerality with gorgeous tropical fruit notes: pineapple, limes, mango, some guava - its expressive and bright and wild. The palate is light and bright: spritely and dances, full of citrus once more, vanilla bean sweetness, creamy at times and pops with tropical fruits and citrus throughout. Long finish, mango and lemon sorbet with a pop of lovely acidity sticks on the palate.
