5 Sentidos - 2007 Cuixe Madrecuixe Espadin by Tio Tello 750ml
"Once this is gone, it's gone forever. Produced in 2007 and rested in glass for 15 years, this is one of the most delectably captivating distilates we have ever tasted.
Eduardo Pérez Cortez, nicknamed Lalo, produced this batch at his family’s modestly-sized palenque in El Nanche, Oaxaca. Lalo and his father, Tio Tello, harvest exclusively mature agave and maintain a tradition of hand mashing that is essentially lost in the region of Miahuatlan. This Ensemble of Cuixe, Madrecuixe and Espadin was distilled in 2007 and left resting in glass demijohns for about 15 years.
Eduardo co-roasts all of the agaves in an underground oven. After roasting, He cuts the agave with a machete and mashes them using by hand with wooden hammers. He ferments using cypress wood tanks and uses well water. Once the mash is ready, Lalo distils twice using a single copper alembic still. Delectably full of sweet spices and a velvety tannic texture
