Codigo 1530 Ancestral Papalomé

Oaxaca

Codigo 1530 Ancestral Papalomé is a Joven mezcal made from Agave potatorum and fermented in rawhide. The process imparts distinct notes of leather, tobacco, brine, and sweet earth with a light smoke. Although the bottle identifies the species as potatorum, some observers note flavor profiles often associated with Cupreata. The spirit is described as pleasant after aging, despite its low alcohol by volume. It remains a notable example of traditional production methods within the Pernod Ricard portfolio, offering a unique sensory profile derived from its specific fermentation vessel.
