Introduction

Traditional pit-roasted, mule-drawn tahona-crushed, open-fermented, double-distilled mezcal from 100% semi-wild Agave Barril harvested at 10 years of age, bottled at 46.4% ABV. Produced in La Compaa Ejutla, Oaxaca, by mezcaleros Gregorio and Gonzalo Hernandez. Barril is a subspecies of the Karwinsinskii Family of agaves that grows in the hilly areas. It grows a long stalk, resembling a tree and creates a mezcal of great complexity, balancing sweetness and citrus.
