This offering from Del Maguey is made by Maestro Mezcalero Fernando Caballero Cruz in San Pedro Teozacoalco, Oaxaca. Maestro Fernando’s method of distillation is a bit unusual as he employs stainless steel pot-stills with a clay and bamboo condenser offering what some might say is the best of both worlds.

Tasting Notes
"Papalome is known for its rustic, earthy character and this one is no different. It is dirty and gamey on the nose with notes of hot clay, charred pineapple and burning mesquite (no doubt enhanced by the clay in the condenser). The nose is mirrored on the palate although much sweeter than expected. "
