Tasting Profile: special lactic/cheese note
Jorge Torres and his son make this anomalous mezcal in the colder mountain regions of Santiago a few hours outside of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Due to the colder climate, a large amount of pulque is added to the fermentation instead of water, the final mix is about 40% roasted agave fiber and 60% pulque. While the main agave in this region is an americana known as" Castilla" there is also Agave Asperrima "Cenizo" and Agave Gentryi. While in most productions Jorge uses primarily Agave Americana and the occasional gentry, this batch is comprised solely of Agave gentryi, as pictured. These producers hand mash the cool agave in a small rock lined pit with a wooden mallet. (seen in drawing on front label). The addition of large amounts of pulque to the fermentation set this mezcal far apart from any other in terms of aroma and flavor.
Agave gentryi: Pictured above with Jorge Torres is a medium-large agave found in various parts of North-Eastern Mexico. In the region it is referred to as "Verde del Monte" o "Verde de la Sierra" As far we know Jorge is the only person using gentryi in an agave distillate. This agave was named after the renowned Agave expert Howard Scott Gentry.
