The regionalA. karwinskiisubvariety Cirial has long been a specialty of Gonzalo Martnez Sernas and his family (on its own and in ensamblesîparticularly alongside Jabal), yet this is the first batch of 100% Cirial from Macurichos to arrive stateside! An assertive initial pour relaxes quickly into a dynamic and racy mezcal, crowd-pleasing while retaining a distinct bite at nearly 53% ABV.
