Size: 750ML

Proof: 92 (46% ABV)

Distillery: Hacienda Teresa

This very bottle is a child of Agave Arroqueno, a long and massive wild Agave that can take up to two decades to fully grow. (It’s the genetic mother of Espadin, the most widely used Agave…) Maestro mezcalero Don Gernán Bonifacio Arellanes not only has a magnificent name, but also some real talent creating a creamy and smoky treat that oozes tradition and secret knowledge of yesteryear.

Distillery Information

Hacienda Teresa enjoys generous amounts of sunlight and large flatlands, making it ideal for the cultivation of fresh, juicy sugarcane. In 1865, the Serrallés family began distilling the excess sugar cane harvested from Hacienda Teresa into rum.
