Pierde Almas +9 Botanicals
Pierde Almas +9 Botanicals is a Joven gin made from espadín agave. The spirit features bright juniper, star anise, and epazote on the nose. Coriander, fennel seed, and nutmeg add depth to the herbal profile. Viscous umami notes resemble shiitake mushroom and vegan pechuga. Mint and lemon verbena provide fresh accents against the roasted agave base. The 45% alcohol content delivers a pleasant wave of spice and citrus. This complex spirit balances botanical intensity with the underlying character of the agave distillate to create a distinct and savory profile.

About the Brand
Behind each bottle of Pierde Almas is a time-honored recipe kept alive with painstaking care by the family patriarch in each successive generation. Their labels are hand-printed on 100% acid-free, handmade paper derived from fibers that are indigenous to the region and have been in use since pre-Columbian times. With their Wild Agave Reforestation Program, they are actively engaged in the re-forestation of wild species of Agave in those areas where their populations have been depleted. Pierde Almas begins each rainy season by inviting bartenders, chefs, restauranteurs, and journalists to join them for their annual wild Tobalá planting. Due to the artisinal nature of their mezcal, the ABV of each lot may vary slightly. In May 2018, British multinational alcoholic beverages company Diageo purchased Pierde Almas Mezcal.
