Palenque Tobaziche Juan Hernandez

70 cl / 46.2°

Category: Agave Distillate

Why it’s different

From the Palenque Project, this craft agave distillate made from Maguey Tobaziche comes from San Pedro Taviche, Ocotlàn, Oaxaca, and is produced by Juan Hernandez Luis, a fifth-generation Palenquero.

Although Don Juan Hernandez maintains an approach to production based on traditions far removed from scientific knowledge in fermentation and distillation, like many mezcal producers, he creates a high quality distillate from his solid experience;

Aromatic notes: Primarily lactic with herbaceous, vegetal and fruity notes of sweet banana alongside hints of dried seeds.

Tasting notes: In the beginning, dulce de leche emerges, with notes of ripe fruit similar to cooked maguey that become delicate with hints of chicozapote and mamey, before becoming very vegetal, where green pepper is associated with a bitter and astringent sensation reminiscent of spinach, rounding off the sweet flavours.
