Product Title - Base San Luis Del Rio Azul Mezcal Short Description Azul is a bright, peppery, floral Mezcal distilled from Blue Weber maguey in San Luis del Rio, and offers a rare taste of how Tequila may have tasted many years ago. Long Description During the agave scarcity in Jalisco 2000-2004 Jalisco truckers came down to purchase Espadin from our most powerful Palenquero, Paciano Cruz Nolasco, in order to sustain tequila production. They brought with them baby Maguey Azul to plant in case there was another shortage. Seven years later this maguey Azul is very mature and has been earth-roasted, fermented with airborne microbes, twice distilled, unblended the original, centuries-old Oaxacan, hand-crafted way. Azul has a distinctively creamy mouth feel with bright citrus notes and dried tropical fruit (banana chip). A sweet green herbaceous, wet stone quality appears with a touch of white peppercorn and a medium long finish. **NOTE: DISCONTINUED FY22 Manufacturer Pernod Ricard Awards - 95 Points/Tried & True Award, Ultimate Spirits Challenge, 22
