Aguerrido Mezcal
Chacolo Ciriaco
Chacolo Ciriaco is a Destilado de Agave classified as Joven. Macario Partida crafts this spirit in Zapotitlan de Vadillo, Jalisco. He selects Agave Angustifolia aged ten to thirteen years. Hand milling precedes Filipino distillation for this batch. The clear liquid holds 47.9% alcohol by volume. No wood aging alters its raw character. This unaged profile highlights the plant’s natural notes. The producer opts for this category to bypass regional laws. Such choices allow distinct local techniques to shine. The result is a pure agave expression.

About the Brand
The Partida family, lead by Don Macario, has been making their iconic “mezcales” for 5 generations in Zapotitlan de Vadillo, Jalisco, however due to legalities they can neither call their product mezcal nor tequila. They are renowned among mezcaleros and mezcal aficionados for the amazing spirits that are meticulously made from the 15 different agave varietals that they have been collecting from their region for three generations. These varietals include 14 A. angustifolia sub varietals and 1 A. rhodacantha sub-varietal.
