Palomo Barril Mezcal – 92 Proof (46% ABV) | 700ml
Elegant, herbaceous, and distinctly expressive, Palomo Barril Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal crafted from 100% Barril agave (Agave karwinskii) in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 700ml bottle, this small-batch expression is produced by Maestro Mezcalero Carlos Méndez Blas using time-honored Oaxacan techniques. Barril agave is prized for producing mezcals with vibrant herbal character, earthy minerality, and subtle floral complexity, resulting in a refined spirit that beautifully showcases the unique qualities of the Karwinskii agave family.
Process & Production:
Palomo Barril Mezcal is crafted from mature Barril agaves, a member of the Karwinskii family known for its tall, slender growth and distinctive flavor profile. The agaves are slowly roasted in traditional underground earthen pit ovens before being crushed using a horse-drawn tahona.
Natural fermentation takes place in open wooden vats using ambient yeasts, allowing the agave's terroir to shine through. The fermented mash is then double distilled in copper pot stills, producing a mezcal with remarkable purity, complexity, and balance.
Appearance:
Crystal clear with brilliant silver highlights and exceptional clarity.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh herbs, green grass, citrus peel, light smoke, wet stone, and delicate floral aromas.
Palate: Crisp and layered with flavors of roasted agave, green herbs, citrus zest, earthy minerality, white pepper, and subtle notes of fresh pine and wildflowers.
Finish: Long, clean, and dry with lingering herbal spice, mineral notes, gentle smoke, and sweet roasted agave.
