Pierde Almas Mezcal
Agave de Cortes Extra Anejo
Agave de Cortes Extra Añejo is a mezcal aged for three years and eight months from the 2009 harvest. This limited edition spirit presents a medium amber hue with distinct aromas of oak smoke and sweetness. The profile includes notes reminiscent of scotch and cream soda, creating a crossover character that some find less agave-forward. It is designed as a sipping spirit for those seeking high-end complexity. The production involves extended barrel aging, resulting in a unique sensory profile that distinguishes it from younger expressions within the brand.
