Lucero Destilado Con Poleo (Berta Vasquez)
Lucero Destilado con Poleo Agave Spirit – 50% ABV | 750ml Herbal, vibrant, and rooted in ancestral tradition, Lucero Destilado con Poleo Agave Spirit is a distinctive artisanal agave spirit infused through distillation with poleo (pennyroyal mint), an aromatic herb long used in traditional Mexican cuisine and herbal remedies. Bottled at 50% ABV in a 750ml format, this limited-production release offers a unique balance of roasted agave richness and refreshing herbal complexity, creating a spirit that is both expressive and remarkably elegant. Process & Profile Produced using traditional ancestral methods, mature agaves are roasted in underground earthen ovens, crushed by hand, naturally fermented with native yeasts, and distilled in clay pot stills. During the final distillation, fresh poleo is added to the still, allowing its essential oils and delicate botanical character to integrate naturally with the spirit. The result is a beautifully layered agave spirit that highlights both the purity of the agave and the vibrant freshness of the herb. Appearance Crystal clear with brilliant silver hues and a silky, full-bodied texture that reflects its artisanal craftsmanship and higher proof. Tasting Notes Nose: Fresh roasted agave is complemented by bright aromas of wild mint, eucalyptus, citrus peel, green herbs, and soft earth, with a delicate hint of smoke. Palate: Rich cooked agave unfolds into layers of cooling herbal notes, fresh mint, citrus zest, cracked pepper, minerality, and subtle floral accents. The poleo adds freshness without overpowering the natural sweetness and character of the agave. Finish: Long, clean, and invigorating, with lingering notes of roasted agave, cooling herbs, gentle spice, minerality, and a delicate touch of smoke that leaves a refreshing, memorable finish.
