Pechotierra Maguey Cenizo Mezcal

Pechotierra Maguey Cenizo Mezcal is an artisanal Mexican agave spirit ("vino del norte") produced by maestro vinatero Jorge Luis Torres Casas in Laguna de Sánchez, Nuevo León. Crafted from wild Maguey Cenizo (Agave durangensis), the agave hearts are pit-roasted with oak and mesquite, wild-fermented with local pulque, and double-distilled in traditional copper stills. It delivers a rich, earthy, and complex profile characterized by dark mineral tones, sweet cooked agave, and subtle mesquite smoke.
