El Hispano - Chipotle Liqueur - 30%
El Hispano is a line of Mexican artisanal liqueurs developed by the family-run distillery Casa Tarasco, operating since 1907 in the state of Michoacán. Specializing in the sugarcane distillate known as "Charanda," the house perpetuates traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation. Modernized and once reserved for local use, these liqueurs are now being bottled for the first time at the initiative of BBC Spirits, following an on-site tasting.
El Hispano Chipotle is a handcrafted liqueur made from dried chipotle peppers , steeped for a long time in 55% cane rum. After about a month of maceration, the preparation is sweetened with a touch of brown sugar, which balances the aromatic intensity of the pepper while adding roundness.
" A warm and intense profile driven by deep, smoky notes typical of chipotle. On the palate, the sweetness of the brown sugar counterbalances the power of the chili, offering a bold and flavorful balance. Ideal for revisiting an Old Fashioned or adding a bold Mexican touch to a Negroni."
