An hour and a half from PV but a world from Señor Frog. Tropical fruit, cane and raicilla.

 
 
 

The Story

I’ve never seen a set up like this before - copper, papaya and fig wood all stuck together to make the still. This is hyper local, ancient technology. The father and son combo made the spirit were the same guys that harvested the agave and carved the stills. We headed back up the hill to the bat infested warehouse where we tried vintages up to 30 years old… not for sale… This 8yr old was still one of the most delicious unique spirits I have ever tried.
