PAL' ALMA CAFE DE LA OLLA 58% 750ML AGAVE SPIRIT; AGAVE: ESPADILLA; PUEBLA MEXICO

Destilado de agave produced in Tepeojuma, Puebla, Mexico Maestro Mezcalero Asunción Matilda Vargas 100% Espadilla (Agave angustifolia) harvested after one year capón Cooked in a traditional earth & stone pit oven Milled by hand using an axe Fermented in a shallow stone well Distilled twice using a hybrid Filipino-style pot still of clay & wood with an external condenser made of copper (refrescadera)—honestly, a totally wild still Botanicals added to the second distillation include cinnamon, hibiscus, clove, anise, piloncillo, black pepper, oregano, mandarin orange peel, and of course, coffee from Compostela, Nayarit Rested over one year before bottling 59% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch) If you’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting a warm mug of Café de Olla in Mexico, this mezcal will be transportive. Café de Olla is a style of coffee-making in which the coffee grounds are essentially stewed in a single pot along with piloncillo (dense, semi-raw sugar) and warm spices—most commonly canela (cinnamon). The rich, sweet profile of the brew is lovingly recreated in this mezcal, with additional botanicals filling out the subtlest aromatic notes of the heirloom coffee beans, and the generous softness of the piloncillo masking the heady proof of 59%. Move over, Espresso Martini—we’ve got something a million times better.
