This fruity, sweet and smokey expression is the most approachable of the Corte Vetusto range, drawing some comparison with medium-ester Jamaican rums. Bold flavours hint at stewed pears, potpourri, brine, white pepper and trail off with suggestions of rubber and wood smoke. It's sleek, supple and accessible, without lacking concentration or character. 45% Alc./Vol. Tasted from a 15ml sample.

Double Copper Mezcal, in a word: Agave, sun, earth, it's that perfect mixture of water and smoke, a spiritual drink. Our mezcal is produced with 100% wild agave, which means that it grows naturally in the mountains of the Nombre de Dios Durango region. 300 years between generations perfecting techniques. 10 years of earth, sun, rain, wind and fire are inside each Double Copper bottle. Old agave gives life to this young mezcal, without any rest and much less aging. Double distillation in a copper still is the secret of these delicious notes in each sip.

Mezcal Legendario Domingo was founded in 2012 by Julian Saenger. Born and raised in Mexico, Julian has always had tremendous love and respect for the art of mezcal production, often finding ways to delve into production, marketing, brand launches and general support of the category throughout Mexico. When he finally found the opportunity to create a brand of his own through partnership with the Velasco family, he chose to centre the brand design around a recurring feeling he experienced through his journey in mezcal: celebration. Through its various labels, designed in Papel Picado, Legendario Domingo highlights different mezcal producing regions of Mexico, demonstrating exemplary distillation tradition from each region and emphasizing the differences in terroir. The mezcals Legendario Domingo produces are Palenque and regional designates (similar to vineyard designates in wine), purposefully emphasizing each region by accenting the terroir and capturing the agave varietal character, aromas, flavours and mouthfeel that wild fermentation and artisanal production afford. This Mezcal is made from 100% Cenizo (Durangensis) harvested at 10-12 years old from Nombre de Dios, in the Durango region by Maestro Mezcalero Familia Colon. The piña is cooked for 4-5 days in underground conical ovens ignited with mesquite, oak and huisache woods. The roasted piña are then crushed by a Mechanical Wheel that is traditional in region. Fermentation takes place in open underground wooden vats with fresh spring water for 6-8 days. No yeast is added, and instead indigenous yeast from the air ferments the agave juice. The mezcal is then double-distilled in a 300 litre Arabic Alembic pot still made of copper and stainless steel. The mezcal is then rested 30-45 days prior to being bottled. Each bottle is then filled, labeled and boxed by hand, completing the artisanal process from field to bottle. A nose of fresh green grapes and apple candy. the palate continues with more sweet candied fruit and freshly cut grass with more grape on the finish.

Nose: green pepper, vegetal Palate: green pepper, nuts and cream Finish: peppercorn, sweetness and citrus

This is perhaps the most reserved and yet aromatically complex of all the Quiquiriqui Mezcals, with a bright and perfumed, almost floral intensity, followed by sweet metallic notes, and some lingering fruitiness in the background. The palate is bolder, with meaty cured charcuterie characters and buttery sweetness, ahead of an almost ferrous zing and delicate wood smoke. The texture is supremely silky and slippery, coating the tongue before sliding away and leaving a finish abounding with classic Mezcal minerality.
