Palomo Mezcal Artesanal con Cacao 700ml

Discover the rich fusion of artisanal mezcal and traditional Oaxacan chocolate with Palomo Mezcal Artesanal con Cacao 700ml. Crafted in Santiago Matatlán, the heart of mezcal production in Oaxaca, this exceptional spirit begins as a traditional Espadín mezcal before receiving a third distillation with homemade cacao prepared from the family recipe of Maestro Mezcalero Carlos Méndez Blas' grandmother. The result is a beautifully balanced spirit that preserves the essence of agave while adding elegant layers of roasted cacao.

Made from 100% ripe Espadín agaves, the piñas are roasted for five days in traditional underground conical stone ovens, crushed using a horse-drawn tahona, naturally fermented in wooden tinas, and double distilled into a joven mezcal. The spirit is then macerated with homemade Oaxacan chocolate for approximately four weeks before undergoing a third distillation, producing a crystal-clear mezcal with remarkable depth and complexity.

The nose reveals aromas of roasted cacao, cooked agave, light smoke, and warm spices. The palate is rich and expressive with dark Mexican chocolate, sweet roasted agave, earthy minerality, gentle bitterness, caramel, and subtle floral notes, leading to a long, dry finish accented by lingering cocoa and delicate smoke.
