Mezcalero Special Bottling #4 de Cabra

Mezcalero Special Bottling #4 was distilled by Don Valente Angel from agave espadín and wild bicuishe (agave karwinskii) harvested from the environs of Santa Maria la Pila at some 5400 feet near San Andres Miahuatlan, southeast of Oaxaca City; the agaves were wood-roasted in a stone horno, shredder-crushed (Don Valente has removed many of the shredder teeth to avoid the instrument’s drawbacks), fermented with wild yeasts, and double-distilled on 200-liter copper pot stills. Bottled in April, 2017, the mezcal was placed in a mound of goat manure and left for six months. The bottles were cleaned and transported to Destilería Los Danzantes in Santiago Matatlan in November, 2017. After COLA approval of the label design, the bottles were labeled and shipped to California in January, 2018. 120 bottles only. 47.4% abv.This is a special mezcal aged under goat excrement for six months.
