Cuish Penca Larga

Destilado de Agave produced in Logoche, San Luis Amatlán, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca Maestro Mezcalero: Hermógenes Vásquez 100% Penca Larga (Fucraea sp.) Cooked in a conical underground oven Crushed with a small mechanical grinder Fermented in open air sabino (cypress) vats (tinas) Distilled twice using traditional copper pot stills with condenser (refrescadera) 45% ABV Known locally as Penca Larga (essentially meaning “long leaf”), this plant has recently been discovered to, in fact, be a subspecies of a different genus, Fucraea, from the Asparagaceae family (similar to agave and sotol). Thus, while they may be cousins, this is not an agave at all! Mind. Blown.
