El Rey Zapoteco - Joven - Espadin - 45%

El Rey Zapoteco is a premium artisanal Mezcal produced by the second generation of the Hernandez family in Matatlán Oaxaca, Mexico . Mezcals are the result of a dedicated process, from the careful cultivation of the maguey plant to the final bottling.

The process starts with cutting the leaves and roots when the agave reaches maturity (minimum 8 years and up to 30 years depending on the species), leaving only the heart named " piña " (meaning pineapple in Spanish) due resemblance to the fruit. The piñas are cut into pieces and baked in a natural underground oven over wood and stone. This stage lasts from 4 days to 7 days depending on the quantity of agaves. The fired fragments are recut and placed in a stone mil. The stone is pulled by a horse, crushing and extracting the juice from the pieces of agave. Ground agaves are placed in wooden tubs with water, allowing them to ferment using only natural yeasts . The fermented product, called " tepache ", is distilled twice in copper pot stills , creating the end result: Mezcal. In some cases, the Mezcal is then placed in oak barrels allowing it to age for a period of time. The Mezcal obtained is returned to the "guardians" (copper stills) to repeat the ritual and purify it by eliminating any residual water.

This Mezcal is produced with Espadin Angustifolia agave. It comes from a double distillation in a copper still with coil.
