5 Sentidos - Cucharilla y Papalome

Cinco Sentidos - La Colección Mixteca Edición 3 - Cucharilla y Papalome 46.7% ABV   This post distillation blend of Cucharilla & Papalome (a. Potatorum) is representative of one of the first few attempts that maestro mezcalero Delfino Tabón Mejía has harvested, roasted, fermented Cucharilla and Papalome together. He harvested nearly 150 of the Cucharillas from the gray limestone soil of his wife's hometown, which sits at 6,500 feet above sea level, trucked them back to his hometown of San Pablo Ameyaltepec, and then roasted them in an underground oven alongside a few dozen Papalome from the same region. After the roast, he broke them down with a mechanical mill, creating a fermentable mash that he eventually allowed to ferment with a spring water for nearly a week. Once fermentation was deemed to be complete, Delfino distilled the mash once with his two copper, three-plated reflux stills, creating 231 total liters. Distilled in October 2022, bottled January 2023    "La Collecion Mi
