Pierde Almas La Purita Verda Mezcal Artesanal Joven 100% Maguey Espadin 750ml

Producer Description

Pierde Almas brings you rare, 100% artisan-made Mezcals, crafted using methods that have remained unchanged since the end of 16th Century. We still bake our Agave hearts for up to ten days in earthen ovens. We still mill them under a great stone wheel drawn by horses. Fermentation even in these impatient times is slow, careful and chemical-free. Distillation takes place in a wood-fired, serpentine copper alembic whose design hasnt changed appreciably since when the Moors occupied the Spanish Peninsula.

Pierde Almas La Puritita Verda is made from agave Espadin, which takes 8 to 10 years to mature. This Mezcal is crafted in San Juan del Rio by maestro mezcalero Rodolfo Hernandez. It has a savory smoke flavor with earthy undertones. It could be sipped neat, but is most commonly used as a mixer for cocktails.

With their Wild Agave Reforestation Program, they are actively engaged in the re-forestation of wild species of Agave in those areas where their populations have been depleted. Pierde Almas begins each rainy season by inviting bartenders, chefs, restauranteurs, and journalists to join them for their annual wild Tobal planting. Due to the artisinal nature of their mezcal, the ABV of each lot may vary slightly.
