In Situ Tobasiche, Barril & Espadín Ensamble Ancestral Destilado de Agave is a small-batch Oaxacan agave spirit blending three agaves and distilled twice in traditional clay pot stills. Only 300 liters were made, bottled at 47.8% ABV (95.6 proof).

The Story of This In Situ Ensamble

In Situ bottles spirits from small Oaxacan producers. This ensamble comes from Maestro Mezcalero Israel Pérez in Santiago Matatlán (Mezcasiarca, NOM EM-012-SC). Tobaziche and Barril (both Agave karwinskii) and Espadín (A. angustifolia) are roasted in an earthen oven, crushed with a stone tahona, fermented in open-air oak tinas and distilled twice in Filipino-style clay pot stills, the ancestral method. It evokes a long hike through deep, familiar woods, with well-integrated smoke and a complex yet crowd-pleasing profile.

• Finish: A whisper of baked apple and campfire smoke

How to Enjoy
