Quiquiriqui Mezcal Matatlan is produced with 100% agave Espadin in the village of Santiago Matatlan, famed for its long history of mezcal production.
The agaves are locally harvested and traditionally roasted in underground pits, crushed using a tahona, and then fermented outside in oak vats relying on natural airborne yeasts. The fermented mixture is then double-distilled in small copper stills.
Quiquiriqui Matatlan mezcal is a classic “house style” mezcal that can be used for cocktails as well. It has distinct roasted agave flavors and a peppery finish that is characteristic of mezcals produced from agave Espadin.
Tasting Notes
