La Venenosa Azul Don Guelo Mezcal is the creation of Maestro Mezcalero Don Guelo, whose dedication to preserving ancient techniques and honoring the land is evident in every bottle. Produced in the highlands of Jalisco, this mezcal is distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave, the same variety used in the production of high-quality tequila. However, the traditional mezcal-making process imparts a distinctive character that sets it apart.
Upon opening the bottle, the nose is greeted with an inviting bouquet of earthy aromas, interwoven with hints of fresh herbs, roasted agave, and a whisper of floral notes. As the mezcal breathes, subtle nuances of citrus and tropical fruits emerge, adding depth and intrigue. The first sip reveals a symphony of flavors, starting with a rich, smoky essence that is the hallmark of authentic mezcal. This smokiness is beautifully balanced by the natural sweetness of the agave, complemented by layers of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of spice. The complexity of flavors is enhanced by a smooth, velvety texture that coats the palate, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
The craftsmanship behind La Venenosa Azul Don Guelo Mezcal is a testament to the artistry and passion of its maker. Don Guelo employs traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The agaves are cooked in an earthen pit oven, which imparts the signature smoky flavor. After roasting, the agaves are crushed using a tahona, a large stone wheel, and then fermented in open-air wooden vats. The mezcal is distilled in small copper pot stills, ensuring that each batch retains its unique character and quality.
