Aged for one year in American white oak barrels previously used for tequila, this 40% ABV mezcal layers gentle smoke and cooked agave with vanilla, caramel, ripe fruit and sweet spice. Horse-drawn stone milling, wooden-tub fermentation and copper pot distillation connect the bottle’s rich añejo profile to the traditional methods printed on its label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol by Volume (ABV):\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpirit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Artesanal, Añejo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia Haw.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volcanic earth pit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone mill pulled by horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wooden tub\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper pot still\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e One year in American white oak barrels previously used for tequila\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNOM:\u003c\/strong\u003e O220X\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 Conejos\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proximo Spirits.
