Palenque Espadin Gregorio Martinez
Why it’s different
From the Palenque Project, this craft agave distillate made from Maguey Espadìn comes from San Baltazar Guelavila, Tlacolula, Oaxaca, and is produced by Eduardo Martìnez, who has picked up the baton from his father Gregorio.
Aromatic notes: Sweet vinous notes, aniseed, fresh wood, with hints of fresh pepper and sweet and sour fruit, citrus and olives in the background.
Tasting notes: A very intense mezcal, in which hints of fresh and ripe fruit invade the palate, together with savoury notes and an astringent sensation. The aftertaste presents persistent sweet and at the same time smoky tones.
Curiosities
The Palenque project is the brainchild of Luca Gargano, who involved six agave distillate producers from various villages in the state of Oaxaca and project coordinator Hector Vazquez. The Maestros Palenqueros aim to draw a detailed map of Oaxaca's terroir, the diversity of agave species and the natural conditions that give the agave a wealth of information during its long growing process. These producers operate with an artisanal approach, some introducing modern changes at various stages of production, always paying attention to the quality of the soil, the agave and the production process, based on their personal recipe.
