5 Sentidos Espadin Capon de Cuero, Alberto Martinez is a destilado de agave. Angustifolia agave from Santa Catarina Albarradas defines this capon spirit. Alberto Martinez mills the hearts by hand for clay pot distillation. Rawhide fermentation in Oaxaca creates aromas of leather, ethanol, and minerals. The palate balances sweet notes with a savory and mineral profile. This high ABV spirit avoids excessive heat while maintaining intensity. The unique process yields a distinct character that stands apart from standard puntas characteristics in the final pour.
