Mezcalosfera | Alto w Pulque | 500ml
This mezcal was crafted by Luis Pérez, a master distiller with over three decades of experience, from Río de Parras, Michoacán, México. The Agave Inaquidiens, known as "Alto" and taking 12 to 18 years to mature, was used in its production. Luis comes from a family of mezcal producers, learning the trade from his father and continuing the tradition with his brothers, uncles, and cousins. Luis considers this mezcal, which is fermented with Pulque and also made from Agave alto, to be his personal favorite. To activate the fermentation, he adds 20 liters of pulque to the mix.
