Aguerrido Mezcal
Aguerrido Zacate Limon – Doña Erika
Aguerrido Zacate Limon Doña Erika is a destilado de agave aged in glass. This 2021 batch distinguishes itself by incorporating lemongrass into the distillation process. The nose presents notes of lemon, earth, grass, and dryness alongside a scent reminiscent of lemon cookies. The palate delivers a spicy lemongrass character that dominates the profile, overriding typical cupreata nuances. While unique and enjoyable as a singular tasting, this spirit offers a distinct novelty rather than a traditional expression of the region for daily consumption.
