Tasting Notes: The glass allows us to perceive a light spiced aroma; in our hands we can perceive touches of humidity and minerals. Its great taste is enhanced by citric notes, clove and very light taste of dairy. It may also leave a herbal, flower and sweet aftertaste in your palate. Light spicy sensations, which can be salty in the end, may be found. On the other hand, its alcoholic residual flavor is moderate, with medium acidity.
Mystery of the mountains
This mezcal is made from 100% wild agave. These species can be semi-cultivated, yet its optimal development happens on the hills, among the trees. We respect its natural growth and limit the production of this unique mezcal in order to prevent an unbalance in its habitat.
Its maturity time is 18 to 22 years.
Tr3s Tiempos was born as a cooperative of people committed to preserving our traditions, our culture, and the purity of mezcal so that lovers of this drink can acquire it directly from the producers. We promote equity in trade to dignify the work of all and take care of our families, who are involved in the process of making mezcal. In so doing, we prevent emigration, which is a harmful factor for families.
