Product Title - Base Papalome Mezcal Single Village Short Description The maguey of choice in the Mixteca Alta region of Oaxaca, our Papalome (Nahuatl for butterfly) is made by palenquero Fernando Caballero Cruz and is earthy, dark and delicious Long Description Del Maguey met our first producer for our Vino De Mezcal series, Fernando Caballero Cruz, five or six years ago at the annual Dia de los Magueyeros. He and his family live in the Mixteca Alta region. The trip into Teozacoalco is about 5 hours on the worst rock and dirt road we have ever been on. The maguey Papalometl is named in Nahuatl for the butterfly (papalotl) and looks like a giant Tobala. Distillation takes place in a stainless pot with a clay condenser and Carrizo (Mexican bamboo) tube. This mezcal is earthy, dark and delicious. The nose is like sinking into a rich leather chair. A palate of leather, slate, a hint of black olive and meatiness. A medium long finish starting with slightly sweet notes of dark dried black cherries that gives way to an earthy, savory mushroom.
