Juan Hernández works with maguey Tobaziche in San Pedro Taviche, Ocotlán, Oaxaca. A fifth-generation palenquero, he is gradually handing production to his sons Margarito, Agustin and Laurentino.

Bottled clear at still strength, 46.6% ABV, the mezcal opens on lactic and herbal aromas, banana and dried seeds. Dulce de leche and cooked maguey meet sapodilla, blackberry and green pepper, with a firm bitterness holding the fruit in check.

Earthy and vegetal notes shape the long, clean finish.
