5 Sentidos Guerrero Delgado Y Ancho Agave Spirit 750ml

5 Sentidos Guerrero Delgado Y Ancho Agave Spirit 750ml – For the first time in our short history as a brand, we have bottled a couple of expressions of mezcal in which the agaves were *not* cooked in an underground oven, but rather a diesel-powered, above-ground steam oven.

A small cooperative in the village of Xochipala Guerrero created Cinco Sentidos Delgado y Ancho. Together they harvested 6 tons of wild agave Delgado, named for its remarkably thin leaves, and 7 tons of wild agave Ancho, colloquially referred to as such due to its broad-leafed penca.

In response to seeing trees in the region (Eduardo Neri) be chopped down but not replanted, the small, newly-formed cooperative behind these mezcales decided that a steam oven would be the more environmentally conscious method to cook their agaves.

The results are as outstanding as they are enlightening.

Tasting Notes

The blend of Delgado and Ancho mezcals is a unique and flavorful mezcal that offers the best of both worlds – the fruity sweetness of the Delgado and the subtle smokiness of the Ancho.

• On the nose, the mezcal presents aromas of tropical fruits and a hint of wood smoke.
• On the palate, the mezcal offers a smooth and creamy texture, with flavors of ripe mango, pineapple, and other tropical fruits, as well as notes of cooked agave and a subtle smokiness.
• The finish is long and satisfying, with a sweet and fruity aftertaste that lingers on the palate.

The Delgado and Ancho mezcal blend is perfect for sipping or mixing into cocktails for a complex and flavorful twist.
