This one drinks like a horchata with beautiful sweet cinnamon notes!
This batch includes agaves roasted in two back to back oven loads during the peak of distilling season and includes a mix of Papalote Velilla (mature, but not yet sporuting a quiote) and a Palalote Capon (having sprouted a quiote that has been cut).

Since 2016, the Mal Bien team has been traveling Mexico, driving off the map and into mountains filled with treacherous roads, police officers of questionable moral character, feral dogs, indigenous languages, narcos, ancient relics, machete wielding protestors, insect based meals, mudslides, blockades, corrupt politicians, and many of the world's kindest, funniest, most brilliant people. In addition to some hard to believe stories, the result has been a bounty of relationships with the country's best distillers, whose work we are excited to share with you.
