The thirty-day open-air fermentation with only wild airborne microbes, followed by slow clay still distillation, produces a mezcal with luscious cantaloupe melon on the palate, a background of baking chocolate, vivid vegetal freshness of green beans, and a savory medium-to-long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luscious melon and cantaloupe with a subtle baking chocolate background\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cantaloupe, baking chocolate, and vivid green bean vegetal character from the giant Arroqueno agave\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savory and medium-long\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arroqueno (Agave americana ssp. oaxacensis) — giant semi-wild\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRoasting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conical pit over hot rocks, buried under earth for three days\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 days, airborne microbes only\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ancient clay still with bamboo tubing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited — 360 bottles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDedication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thor Heyerdahl, biologist and explorer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003emezcal at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Arroqueno agave?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Arroqueno (Agave americana ssp. oaxacensis) is one of the largest Oaxacan agave varieties used in mezcal — a giant semi-wild plant producing a mezcal with luscious cantaloupe melon character, baking chocolate, and vivid vegetal green bean notes distinct from Espadin or wild Karwinskii expressions.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Del Maguey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904538939463,"sku":"618397110020","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/zuminp3i8al9fiduo5m5.jpg?v=1782425375","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/del-maguey-arroqueno-mezcal","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
