Lamata Ensamble Tamaulipas
$100.00
In this region of Tamaulipas a mix of all three species are used in all mezcal production. Both A. Asperrima and A. Americana are referred to simply as "Maguey" while the smaller A. Univittata gets the special name "Amole". All three agave are cooked together and their juices are squeezed out using an antique wooden sugar-can trapiche. The fibers are discarded and only the juices of the agave are fermented. Due to the proximity to the Texas border, the traditional still is a Moonshine style still bought from the southern US states, popularized during US prohibition. Basically a traditional pot still, this system is differentiated by a wooden barrel or "thumper" being connected between the pot and the serpentine. This is a very unique tasting mezcal, with a delightful funkiness found nowhere else in Mexico.
