Description
This small, "single tina" batch of Blanca, Marteno & Arroqueno is the first instance that Cinco Sentidos has bottled a batch that contains agave "Blanca" made by Tio Pedro Pascual Hernandez. He discovered and harvested three of these rare agaves in the nearby village of Santo Tomas Jalieza, and to complete a fermentation tank, also harvested agave Marteno and Arroqueno from the ejutla region. All three varietietals were roasted together in an underground conical oven with guamuche firewood for five days. When the cooked agave was unearthed, it was allowed to rest for ten days before being broken down into fermentable mash with a mechanical mill. That mash was allowed to dry-ferment in a pine tank two days before well water was added. Fermentation then continued for anther 15 days until Tio Pedro determined that the mash was ready to be distilled. He double-distilled the mash in a set of four clay pots at his palanque "La Esperanza" in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. He proofed the resulting spirit with heads, hearts and tails in March 2024. 61 liters bottled for export in September 2024.
Cinco Sentidos ("Five Senses") originated as the house agave spirit in Oaxaca's acclaimed retaurant, "El Destilado". Their goal is to bring you uncertified nano-batch agave spirits that highlight varied production processes, agave diversity, and most importantly, the traditions and talents of the 'familias magueyeras' who handcrafted their spirit with rigor and esteem.
