Jorge Perez, a master of his craft, has dedicated his life to preserving the ancient methods of agave cultivation and distillation. The Mezonte Michoacán Agave Spirit is produced using wild agave Cupreata, locally known as Chino, which is carefully harvested from the remote and rugged landscapes of Michoacán. The wild agave plants are meticulously selected for their maturity and flavor profile, ensuring that only the finest specimens are used in the production process.
The journey of Mezonte Michoacán Jorge Perez Agave Spirit begins with the traditional pit-roasting of the agave hearts. This ancient technique involves slow-cooking the agave in earthen pits lined with volcanic rocks, imparting a distinct smoky character that is integral to the spirit's complex flavor. The cooked agave is then crushed using a tahona, a large stone wheel, to extract the rich, sugary juice. This juice is naturally fermented in wooden vats, where native wild yeasts contribute to the development of unique and intricate flavor notes.
Distillation takes place in small copper alembic stills, a process that ensures meticulous control over the spirit's purity and quality. Jorge Perez's expertise is evident in every step, as he carefully monitors the distillation to capture the heart of the agave, where the spirit's essence resides. The result is a spirit that embodies the soul of Michoacán, reflecting its terroir and the dedication of its maker.
On the nose, Mezonte Michoacán Jorge Perez Agave Spirit reveals an enticing bouquet of earthy and floral aromas, interwoven with hints of citrus and tropical fruits.
