Crafted by the incomparable "In Situ Team" of maestro mezcaleros, this unique mezcal is distilled from 100% Cuixito (A. karwinskii), a smaller subspecies renown for its distinctive characteristics. Employing traditional practices, the agave is cooked in an earthen oven, milled manually using wooden mallets and a mechanical crusher, and fermented in open-air wooden vats made of oak. The spirit is distilled twice using traditional Filipino-style clay pot stills maintaining its 'alta gama' purity, requiring no adjustments. Intriguingly savory aromas of granite, haricot vert, sage, catnip, jasmine, and lemon zest set the stage for a palette bursting with flavors of pepitas, fennel, stewed raisins, paprika, papaya, and a hint of brine, rounded off with the dryness of a scone. This exquisite mezcal, with an ABV of 51%, had a limited production of just 110 liters.
