Aguerrido Mezcal
Juerte Destilado de Pulque
Juerte Destilado de Pulque is a joven agave spirit distilled from pulque. The nose presents funky aromas of sugar cane, nuts, and sour cranberry apple notes. On the palate, it offers surprising smoothness despite its intense olfactory profile. Grassy and vegetal flavors emerge alongside a distinct acidity that resembles sour candy. The finish is short, allowing the unique pulque character to remain prominent without excessive alcohol heat. This forty percent ABV spirit stands apart through its bold, tangy profile and undeniable presence in the agave category.

About the Brand
Juerte Destilado de Pulque is produced by Gerónimo Rosainz. The story goes that he was told about destilado de pulque by his grandmother, but it wasn’t until he married a chemical engineer in the mid-90s that he actually began the process of learning how to produce it himself. His wife helped him procure the necessary equipment, and together they decided to re-initiate this centuries-old tradition and began selling their destilado de pulque in their village in northeast Tlaxcala.
