Gusto Historico Ignacio Juárez Coyote 51.7% abv 750ML El Cerrito Liquor

Introducing the Gusto Historico Ignacio Juárez Coyote, a mezcal that embodies the essence of tradition and craftsmanship. Named after Ignacio Juárez, a renowned mezcalero from Miahuatlan, Oaxaca, this mezcal showcases the distinct character of the Agave Coyote.

The production process begins with carefully selecting mature Agave Coyote plants, known for their unique flavors and characteristics. Next, these agaves are harvested and cooked in an earthen pit, a traditional method that imparts smoky and earthy notes to the spirit. After cooking, the agaves are crushed using a tahona, a large stone wheel, to extract their juices and fibers, allowing for a fuller flavor expression.

The extracted agave juice undergoes a natural fermentation process in the open air, allowing wild yeasts to interact with the sugars and create complex and distinctive aromas. The fermentation is fueled by the pure spring water of the region, adding a touch of terroir to the mezcal.

Distillation occurs in a refescadera, a traditional alembic still commonly used in mezcal production. This traditional distillation method preserves the unique flavors and characteristics of the agaves, resulting in a mezcal that truly reflects its origins.
