Doña Tules 06

Doña Tules 06 represents Scott Andrews’ continued quest to age mezcal, most recently Raicillas like this one, in barrels that both express the original spirit while transforming it through contact with wood. The level of focus that Andrews brings to this project is extraordinary because he’s matching barrels to the spirit which is all about inference about which barrel – or which piece of which barrel in previous releases – expresses what’s already there in the spirit and will bring something else to the party. It’s been a lonely pursuit, but others are joining in – expect to see a bigger push in the barrel aged mezcal category soon from other companies.
