Pal‘alma Nuevo Leon De Castilla Destilado De Agave 750ml

Pal 'Alma Nuevo León de Castilla Destilado de Agave Curator: Erick Rodriguez (Almamezcalera / Pal 'Alma) Category: Destilado de Agave Region: Nuevo León, Mexico Exploring the rugged and dramatic landscapes of northeastern Mexico, this release from Pal 'Alma showcases the distinct spirit of Nuevo León. Crafted from wild-foraged Agave Americana (locally known as De Castilla), this expression highlights an agave variety that thrives on steep limestone slopes and desert plateaus. Curated with a deep commitment to regional heritage, this bottling offers a rare glimpse into the independent and traditional distillation methods of the Sierra Madre Oriental. Tasting Notes Aroma: A bold and complex nose defined by sun-warmed clay, roasted green pepper, and sweet herbal notes of wild oregano. As the spirit opens, subtle undertones of fresh lime zest, damp earth, and a wisp of dry mesquite smoke emerge. Palate: Full-bodied and striking on the entry with a robust, oily texture. Savory characteristics of mineral-rich soil, white pepper, and grilled cactus pad lead the mid-palate, beautifully balanced by the underlying sweetness of baked agave hearts. Finish: Long, warming, and remarkably dry. The finish leaves behind lingering echoes of crushed stone, herbal spice, and a refreshing citrus zip. Production Highlights Agave Species: Wild-foraged Agave Americana (De Castilla) harvested in Nuevo León. Craftsmanship: Produced using traditional northern artisanal techniques, respecting local heritage and small-batch distillation methods. Batch Details: Limited micro-batch release celebrating the unique terroir and distilling culture of northeastern Mexico.
