Agua del Sol Espadin 200ml

Agua del Sol Espadin was produced by Pedro Garcia Sernas in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. TheAgave angustifoliawere cooked in an underground pit oven, milled by horse drawn tahona, and double distilled in copper.

TheAgua del Solproject arose at a meeting of master mezcaler@s atthe Mezcaleria CUISH. We discussed that”now in Oaxacan restaurants, a pour of mezcal is more expensive than one of wine or whiskey.”Thus, we enter a paradox: It is now more difficult for localconsumers to afford their native spirits, since exporting them is moreprofitable than selling them domestically due to high tax rates. Even worse, tradition gives way to arbitrary government regulations when brands pursue “mezcal” certification.

Bottled as a Destilado de Agave, Agua del Sol maintains tradition and abides by gusto historico, or local proofing, as it is not bound by the red tape involved with “mezcal certification. We make these heritage agave spirits accessible to local communities once again bykeeping a part of every batch for domestic consumption and sellingthem locally in five and ten-liter custom hand-made garrafones.
