GUERRERO

Our Guerrero variety was inspired by those who are warriors at heart. It is elegant and potent with a strong herbal kick to it before giving way to white pepper and citrus fruit aromas. Despite its high alcohol content of 54%, it is smooth and holds a full body of flavor making it unbeatably a spirit of pure excellence. It is extremely popular and demanding especially amongst savvy mezcal connoisseurs with a well-balanced and distinguished consistency.

Initial taste of butterscotch and wild berries. Subtle dark chocolate aftertaste makes it ideal for pairing with nuts, berries and chocolate. Cacao, leather, and herbal spice tasting notes continue to the finish.
