Nose
The aromas are reminiscent of fortified wine with notes of toasted nuts and dried fruits.
Taste
The flavors are fresh and clean, bursting with sweet and spicy tropical fruits, honeysuckle, and a touch of vanilla. The texture is medium rich, nicely coating the mouth, leaving notes of dried citrus rind and sunbaked earth perfumed on the palate.
Method/Background
This is the first ever mezcal whose production is done completely by solar power, including distillation. In an effort to spread access to sustainable options, they have a guide on how to build a solar powered operation on their website. The impressive solar powered machine is designed as functional and sustainable art and repurposes abandoned pieces of equipment rather than relying on entirely new materials.
