Agave de Cortes is a beautiful expression of 100% Espadon agave, distilled in the iconic mezcal production town of Santiago Matatlan. On the nose, subdued smoke lays the groundwork for vegetal ripeness and floral notes. On the palate, bright acidity and 45% ABV balance with layers and layers of flavor: lemongrass, damp earth, faint fruit and dense clay/mineral are coated by rich body and silky texture. An unparalleled introduction to the category.
