Cost
Pierde Almas is a self-styled "hyper-gourmet" and artisan-made "mezcal de autor". It is made principally from Oaxacan wild agaves in single-varietal batches. Piñas are baked up to five days in clay ovens, natural fermentation takes place in wooden vats, and the mash is distilled in a copper "serpentine" still.

Tasting Notes
"A sweet smokiness is the first impression, followed by a creamy quality that suggests a savory, peppery flan. There's vegetal heat on the palate, along with black pepper, burnt citrus peel and some earthy minerality. The finish lingers tantalizingly."
