30,13 $
Description
Discover a truly rare sip with Tia Guera’s exclusive Arroqueno Mezcal—a limited-edition spirit crafted by master distillers in Oaxaca’s San Baltazar Chichicapam. This small-batch mezcal is made from wild Arroqueno agave, a rare varietal considered the genetic ancestor of Espadin agave. Growing up to seven feet tall and requiring two full decades to mature, these agaves yield a flavor profile as unique as their long journey to harvest—making this batch a once-in-a-lifetime find at this price point.
Tia Guera’s expertise shines through in every pour. On the nose, expect a captivating blend of cinnamon, smoky earth, dark chocolate, and a hint of fresh mint—rounded out by an intriguing bubblegum sweetness that lingers intriguingly. The palate unfolds with tropical brightness: pineapple and guava mingle with subtle peat notes, culminating in a smooth, velvety finish that invites savoring rather than rushing.
This mezcal isn’t just a drink—it’s a celebration of tradition and terroir. Perfect for sipping neat or enhancing craft cocktails, its complex layers appeal to connoisseurs seeking authentic Oaxacan spirits beyond mainstream options. With such limited availability and Arroqueno’s dwindling prevalence in mezcal production, this bottle offers a rare chance to experience an endangered agave’s legacy before it vanishes from shelves—and history—for good.
