5 Sentidos Collecion Mixteca de Horno
$145.00
Aromas: Yams, loaded baked potato, grilled asparagus, Brussel sprouts
Palate: Simultaneously sweet and rugged, with slight minerality, a hint of menthol and a touch of hookah shisha
In the Central Oaxacas Valleys, agave Arroqueño (a. Americana var.Oaxacensis) is highly prized for its delicate and sweet !avors and its reportedly long lifetime (up to two decades). In the Mixteca Alta, the same species is colloquially referred to as De Horno, as an homage the historical use of the enormous “pencas” to wrap up goat and sheep meat in the preparation of underground barbacoa ovens. De Horno seems to grow more prominently in the Mixteca than in the alleys, and has a reportedly shorter life time (12-15 years). Nevertheless, it is rare to see these expressions exported to the U.S., especially one that has
been resting since 2014, making this an extra special bottling to savor.
