Mezcal
Delirio de Oaxaca Añejo is produced at a traditional palenque in
Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, by Ricardo Gonzalez, a fourth generation grower
and distiller. Delirio de Oaxaca Añejo is made from two naturally
cultivated agaves: Agave espadin and Agave madre cuishe. After
approximately seven years, the agave is harvested by hand and cooked
for three days in an underground stone oven heated with mesquite and
copal. The cooked agave is then mashed by the tahona method and
naturally fermented in open pine vats. Following fermentation, the
must is double-distilled in copper alembics, aged for a minimum of 12
months in moderately toasted new American white oak casks, filtered
and precisely blended to 80 proof. The final product has a robust
woody profile with elegant sweet notes from aging in new casks and
thin fruity notes from the blending of two agaves. Mezcal Delirio de
Oaxaca Añejo: 100% agave and certified by the Mexican government /
Comercam.
Delirio
Añejo is the handcrafted result of a union of 100% Agave espadin and
Agave madre cuishe which grant rich notes of agave, citrus fruits and
sweetness. This añejo possesses a robust mezcal aroma combined with
notes of copal and mesquite used during the agave cooking and
sweetness from the new, medium toasted casks of American oak. The
reddish golden color and full-grown appearance can only be obtained
by means of traditional production processes, different types of
agave, and aging in new casks; these award a wealth of aromas only
found in Delirio de Oaxaca Añejo.
