CINCO SENTIDOS MEZCAL MEXICANITO MEXICO 750ML

5 Sentidos Mexicanito is produced by Anatolio Ramirez in a palenque that is a 20-minute hike from the nearest dirt road. This batch of cultivated Mexicanito (A. Rhodacantha) comes from San Jose Rio Minas, located in the Mixteca Alta region of Oaxaca. This mezcal was distilled in a hybrid clay-pot and stainless steel still that is typical in the region. The label image pays homage to the donkey that carried the finished mezcal from the palenque to the nearest road for transport. The 2019 release of this was just 56 liters.

“La Colección Mixteca” is a curated selection of small-batch agave spirits crafted in the rustic distilleries of the mountainous Mixteca region of Oaxaca and Puebla. Each bottling explores the maestro mezcalero’s interpretation of subjecting agave endemic to the region to peculiar production methods and styles that have largely fallen out of favor in modern times. A significant portion of sales from the collection will be used for palenque improvement projects.
