LOT 05 / TASTING LEDGER

Leave time
between sips.

A quiet record of aroma, texture and finish. Start neat, in clay, with a little room to breathe.

HOUSE TASTING STUDIES / NOT TESTIMONIALS

01 / TEPEZTATE

The green edge.

Wet stone first, then green pepper. Let it rest and the roasted sweetness comes forward.

02 / TOBALÁ

Softness, then lift.

Floral on the nose, citrus through the middle. A gentle texture with a dry, mineral close.

03 / ARROQUEÑO

The long warmth.

Baked agave and warm earth. A broad palate, a soft pepper note, and a finish that stays.

Look for the pearls.

THE HEART

48.5% ABV

Mineral, citrus peel, roasted agave.

The generous middle cut. A fine ring of persistent pearls, balanced by the maestro’s hand.

Pearls are a traditional observation, not a substitute for a measured proof.

Small pour.
Open senses.

  1. Pour a little into a clean clay copita.
  2. Give it a moment before the first aroma.
  3. Take a small sip. Notice what stays.
