Mezcal Arroqueño Quiéreme Mucho (Artisanal)

Mezcal Arroqueño Quiéreme Mucho: the legacy of the Oaxacan giant

Mezcal Arroqueño is an imposing expression, made from an agave that takes 15 to 20 years to be ready. Big on the outside and deep on the inside, this mezcal brings together the best of Oaxacan patience: natural sweetness, spicy notes and an earthy richness that is enjoyed without haste.

Main features

• Agave Arroqueño of long maturation (15-20 years)
  More time in the ground = more concentrated and elegant flavor.

• Naturally sweet and spicy profile
  Due to its longevity, it develops warm and round notes.

• Limited production by nature
  Each lot is rare, unrepeatable and handcrafted.

• Dense body and firm core
  Sensation of richness and presence in the glass.

Tasting notes

• Aromas: molasses, wet wood and a touch of wild flowers.

• On the palate: powerful but fine entry, with bitter chocolate, fat pepper and a sweet pumpkin type finish cooked in an earth oven.

• Finish: warm, earthy and lingering.

Why is it worth what it costs?

If you are comparing mezcal arroqueño price, the real value here is time and care: maintaining an agave for almost two decades is not a fast or industrial process. It is liquid culture, sustained by expert hands and family tradition.

Teacher’s note

“El Arroqueño is like a good book: let it open in the glass to understand why the earth took so long to create it.”
