Legendario Domingo San Luis Potosi

Legendario Domingo San Luis Potosí mezcal is made with maguey verde (Agave salmiana) in Santa Isabel, San Luis Potosí by the Familia Hernández. Wild agaves from the Ejido of Santa Isabel are harvested, then cooked in a mamposteria (masonry) above-ground oven. The cooked agaves are crushed by a tahona pulled by a tractor. Fermentation takes place in quarry tanks with mother and indigenous yeast in a closed room. The mother yeast comes from a “lavadero” or smaller fermentation tank that has been filled for the past 50 years, according to the family. Finally, the mosto is single-distilled in a traditional copper alembic still with plates.
