Lucero Espadin Capon Ancestral Agave Spirit 750ml

Lucero Espadín Capón Ancestral Agave Spirit – 49.5% ABV | 750ml

Powerful, traditionally crafted, and deeply expressive, Lucero Espadín Capón Ancestral Agave Spirit is an ancestral-style agave spirit that showcases the exceptional richness achieved through the capón process. Bottled at 49.5% ABV in a 750ml format, this limited-production release captures the concentrated sweetness of mature Espadín agave while honoring time-tested Oaxacan production methods. The capón technique—cutting the agave's flowering stalk and allowing the plant to remain in the ground for additional months—concentrates natural sugars, resulting in remarkable depth and complexity.

Process & Profile

Crafted using ancestral methods, mature Espadín agaves are harvested after the capón process, roasted in underground earthen ovens, hand-milled, naturally fermented with native yeasts, and distilled in traditional clay pot stills. These labor-intensive techniques preserve the agave's pure character while producing a spirit with exceptional texture, complexity, and a delicate smoky nuance.

Appearance

Crystal clear with brilliant silver reflections and a rich, oily texture that coats the glass, highlighting its artisanal production and elevated proof.

Nose: Intense aromas of roasted agave, citrus peel, fresh herbs, wet clay, light smoke, and subtle notes of ripe orchard fruit.

Palate: Rich cooked agave opens into layers of candied citrus, black pepper, grilled herbs, mineral notes, oatmeal, and earthy spice, with a silky mouthfeel balanced by vibrant natural sweetness.

Finish: Long, warming, and elegant, leaving lingering impressions of sweet roasted agave, gentle smoke, minerality, and herbal spice that slowly fade into a clean, memorable finish.
