More information about Mezcalosfera Barril Mezcal 2019
"Molienda manual con mazo" means that all agaves were processed completely by hand with a wooden hammer to separate them from the fibers. So no mill or other equipment used in this first step of production by master distiller Margarito Cortès. This method of production "Molienda manual con mazo" is already 300 years old. As the name suggests, Barril is the agave variety.

About the agave variety Barril
Barril is a wild agave and can mature between 15 and 20 years. It belongs to the so-called Karwinskii family, which also includes the Madre-Cuishe (or simply Cuishe) agave variety and is used far more often in mezcal. Barril grows in tall, barrel-like stems that can also be used as a protective fence on farms or between farms.

Thus, the distillates are not only rare, but all have a strong individual note, which is marked by their origin. In production, the maestros work with traditional distilling and manufacturing methods and their own ideas for their mezcals. The agave varieties used range from wild agave to very tame.
