Cinco Sentidos La Coleccion Mixteca Pizzora Agave Spirits

Cinco Sentidos La Coleccion Mixteca Pizzora Agave Spirits 750ml

This batch of agave Pizorra (a. Marmorata) was distilled by maestro mezcalero Delfino Tobón Mejía in his hometown of San Pablo Ameyaltepec, Puebla.

Along with friends and family members, Delfino wild-harvested these massive, white-striped agaves in the outskirts of his hometown, whose name roughly translates to <the mountain where water is born= in Nahuatl.

After harvesting, Delfino roasted the agave with tlahuicole firewood in an underground conical pit oven for four days. He then milled the cooked agave with a mechanical shredder and allowed them to ferment naturally with spring water for about a week.

Once fermentation was complete, he distilled the mash and tepache once in a custom-made, hybrid 3-plated copper still. Proofed with heads, hearts, and holanda by Delfino.

Distilled September 2022 and bottled August 2024.
