5 Sentidos Puntas Agave Spirit 750ml

5 Sentidos Puntas: A Wild Oaxacan Symphony

Embark on a sensory journey to the heart of Oaxaca’s rugged El Nanche mountains with 5 Sentidos Puntas, a testament to the untamed spirit of the region’s Espadin agave. Crafted by the esteemed mezcaleros Eleuterio and Eduardo Perez, this small-batch agave spirit embodies generations of artisanal tradition.

Sourced from mature Espadin pias harvested at their peak, each agave heart undergoes a meticulous process, beginning with slow roasting in conical earthen pits fueled by blazing oak. This ancient technique imparts a distinct smokiness and concentrates the agave’s richness. The roasted agave is then crushed using a traditional tahona stone, followed by a lengthy natural fermentation. Finally, the fermented mash is distilled in hand-beaten copper stills, resulting in a pure and powerful spirit.

5 Sentidos Puntas is presented in its unadulterated form, free from any additives, allowing the true character of the agave to shine through.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: An intense and captivating bouquet of charred mesquite and smoky oak intertwined with fresh herbal notes, hints of wild tropical fruits (such as pineapple and guava), and a deep, earthy agave presence.
• Palate: A robust and assertive palate, delivering a complex interplay of flavors. The initial smokiness refers to notes of cooked agave, roasted herbs, and a subtle sweetness from wild fruits. A distinct minerality and earthy undertone add depth and complexity.
• Finish: A long and lingering finish, leaving a warm, smoky sensation with echoes of roasted agave, herbs, and a lingering earthiness. It’s a powerful and memorable experience, reflective of the terroir.

5 Sentidos Puntas is more than just an agave spirit; it’s a connection to Oaxaca’s ancient traditions and untamed landscapes. Each sip is a testament to the passion and artistry of the master mezcaleros, offering a rare and profound glimpse into the soul of Mexico’s agave wilds. This is a spirit for those seeking agave’s true, unfiltered essence.
