The Story of Macurichos Cirial

Cirial has long been a specialty of Gonzalo and his family, alone and in ensambles with Jabalí, yet this is the first 100% Cirial batch from Macurichos in the US. The agave is cooked in a conical earthen oven with pine and mesquite, milled with a horse-drawn stone tahona, fermented in oak vats with deep well water and distilled twice in copper pot stills. It rested 30 months in glass demijohns. An assertive first pour relaxes into a dynamic, racy mezcal that keeps a distinct bite.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Layers of tropical fruit with white jasmine blossoms, jicama and a hint of sesame

How to Enjoy
