El Rey Zapoteco - Reposado - 10 meses - 45%

El Rey Zapoteco is a premium artisanal Mezcal produced by the second generation of the Hernandez family in Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico . Mezcals are the result of a dedicated process, from the careful cultivation of the maguey plant to the final bottling.

The process begins by cutting the leaves and roots when the agave reaches maturity (minimum 8 years and up to 30 years depending on the species), leaving only the heart named " piña " (which means pineapple in Spanish) because of the resemblance to the fruit. The piñas are cut into pieces and baked in a natural underground oven on wood and stone. This step lasts from 4 days to 7 days depending on the quantity of agaves. The cooked fragments are re-cut and placed in a stone mill. The stone is pulled by a horse, grinding and extracting the juice from the agave pieces. The ground agaves are placed in wooden vats with water, allowing them to ferment using only natural yeasts . The fermented product, called " tepache ", is distilled twice in copper stills , creating the final result: Mezcal. In some cases, the Mezcal is then placed in oak barrels to age for a period of time. The resulting Mezcal is returned to the "guardians" (copper stills) to repeat the ritual and purify it by removing any residual water.

This Mezcal Reposado is produced with Agave Angustifolia . It was aged in white oak barrels for 10 months.
