Pierde Almas Mezcal
Armadillo Negro Sierrudo – Lupe R.
Armadillo Negro Sierrudo, Lupe R. is a Joven mezcal from Oaxaca. The Americana agave provides the foundational character for this spirit. A tahona stone mill crushes the piñas to extract their sugars. Copper stills then distill the mixture into a clear, unaged liquid. Santa Maria La Pila serves as the specific town of origin for this batch. The absence of wood contact preserves the raw, vibrant profile of the young spirit. This expression highlights the traditional methods employed by the producer in the heart of Oaxaca.
