Produced by Familia Monterrosa using Convallis agave, this spirit is milled in a tahona and distilled in copper. The batch contains only thirty bottles at 58 percent abv, making it exceptionally rare. Rich aromas of toasted spices and green pepper emerge alongside fire roasted caramelized notes. Pronounced yet well rounded smokiness defines the profile without being distracting. The palate reveals very green notes with cinnamon and molasses cookies. A long finish offers deep heat that expands into sweet and spicy flavors.

About the Brand
Agua del Sol was created by Felix Hernández Monterrosa and Adriana Correa, who are perhaps most well-known as the owners and operators of the Mezcales CUISH mezcalerias in Oaxaca City. Given the demands of the two mezcalerias, as well as some additional agave projects, the two of them created Agua del Sol with the intention of using to brand to present tiny batches of mezcal to the world.
