Macurichos Astor Select Espadin 'Amarillo' Mezcal - 2002

How often do you get to taste a mezcal that has been distilled over twenty years ago? With natural spirits like this in particular, something special happens with time. You're eyes are not deceiving you. The mezcal has a golden tint to it but it has never seen a minute in oak. Instead, after multiple decades resting, the natural fatty acids have dissolved into the spirits and changed its color and profile. What that ends of tasting like is essentially something like the most sublime 'aged tequila' you've ever had, only tastier. Supremely mellow and contemplative with notes of golden apples, raw honey, bee pollen, coconut, pineapple, smoke and spices. A once in a lifetime type of expression. Only 59 bottles!
