Los Siete Misterios (Olla de Barro) ESPADIN Mezcal 750ml

Siete Misterios Coyote is made with the maguey Coyote. Coyote in this region very closely resembles maguey Arroqueno while it’s growing, but the mezcal that is made from it is quite different. Typically, maguey Coyote has more herbal notes than Arroqueno, and this mezcal is no exception. Due to the rarity of this agave in the Sola de Vega region, the Siete Misterios Coyote mezcal is very rare and hard to find. If you see it, try it. This mezcal is distilled in clay pots and all of the milling is done by hand.

This ensamble is a blend of Espadin and Tobalá. Tobalá is known as king of the agaves because of its uniqueness. The agave itself is very different from most other varietals. It is physically smaller with drastically different leaves compared to Espadín and it can only be reproduced through seeds, unlike most agaves which can also produce offshoots. This makes Tobalá difficult to find and even harder to make into Mezcal since you need more of them compared to larger plants.

An aromatic balance of cucumber, dill and dried grapefruit peel combined with a light presence of smoke and sweet accents of honey and vanilla. Herbs and citrus peel lead to dry notes of tobacco, pepper, and olives. Delicate accents of smoke, wet earth, and butter create richness and depth. A long, robust finish features beautifully toasted corn.
