Cinco Sentidos La Coleccion Mixteca Blanco Agave Spirits

Cinco Sentidos La Coleccion Mixteca Blanco Agave Spirits 750ml

Delfino Tobón Mejía of San Pablo Ameyaltepec, Puebla refers to the massive agaves that this batch was distilled from as Blanco, and this batch was his first attempt at fermenting and distilling this species on its own.

Along with friends and family, Delfino harvested these mammoth, low-yielding agaves on the outskirts of the city of Tehuacan, where they spent nearly 15 years growing.

For roasting, he quartered them and then placed them in a brick-lined underground oven where he cooked them with mesquite and tlahuicole wood for three days.

He then milled the cooked agaves with a mechanical shredder and allowed them to dry ferment for two days before adding spring water and allowing the mash to ferment for an additional six days.

Once fermentation was complete, Delfino distilled the mash once in his hybrid, 3-plate copper still. Proofed with heads, hearts and holanda (tails) by Delfino.

Distilled in May 2024 and bottled in June of the same year.
