Gusto Histórico Astor Batch Espadin Penca Corta Mezcal - 2019

Private select batches are some of the most fun experiences in agave spirits with how interesting some of these smaller productions can be, this Espadin Penca Corta from Ignacio Juarez being a great example of that. A subspecies of Agave Angustifolia, Juarez crafted a masterful batch here that features notes such as cocoa powder, peanut brittle, root beer, tons of crisp quality fruit, and soft integrated earthy character that really is well composed despite the higher proof would lead one to believe. This exclusive batch to Astor Wines reflects some of the most pure and honest expressions of agave out there while showcasing complexity, depth, and intrigue with how rare of an agave this Penca Corta is, and it's a small batch so grabbing a bottle is highly advised.
