Alma Tepec Chile Pasilla Mixe 750ml

Ancestral Fire Meets Ancient Spice - Alma Tepec Rare Pasilla Mixe Agave Spirit (750ml, 40% ABV) Deep in the hills of Tepec, Oaxaca, where ancestral Pasilla Mixe chilies have grown wild for generations, this extraordinary agave spirit tells a story of tradition and terroir. Masterfully crafted in small batches, this unique expression marries the robust character of Espadín agave with the complex aromatics of these rare, smoke-dried chilies. Following centuries-old methods, mature Espadín piñas are slowly roasted in traditional earthen ovens alongside the prized Pasilla Mixe peppers. The roasted agave is then crushed under a tahona stone wheel, releasing its sweet nectar before natural fermentation in oak vats transforms it into something truly remarkable. Tasting Profile: Opening: Sweet roasted agave with gentle smoke Mid-palate: Complex layers of dried chile and subtle spice Finish: Smooth, lingering sweetness with warm undertones Character: Balanced harmony of smoke, spice, and agave
