Description
Puntagave Los Rurales Mezcal Elote – 48% ABV | 750ml
Bold, rustic, and deeply rooted in Oaxacan tradition, Puntagave Los Rurales Mezcal Elote is an artisanal mezcal that celebrates the timeless pairing of agave and corn. Bottled at 48% ABV in a 750ml format, this expression is handcrafted in Santa María Ecatepec, Oaxaca, where roasted Espadín agave is distilled and infused with roasted elote (corn), creating a spirit that is both richly traditional and uniquely expressive.
Process & Profile
Produced using mature 100% Espadín agave, the piñas are slow-roasted in traditional underground earthen pits lined with volcanic stone, crushed with a tahona, and naturally fermented in wooden vats. After double distillation in small copper stills, carefully roasted elote is introduced, allowing the mezcal to absorb the sweet, toasted corn character while preserving the integrity of the agave. The result is a beautifully balanced mezcal that reflects generations of artisanal craftsmanship in Oaxaca.
Appearance
Crystal clear and brilliant, with silky legs that showcase its full-bodied texture and artisanal production.
