Product details
Born from a spirit of bold experimentation and meticulous craftsmanship, this twelfth edition of an iconic annual release continues a legacy defined by creativity and precision. Each year, the collection ventures into unexplored territory, blending artistry with daring innovation. This chapter draws inspiration from ancient Mesoamerican rituals, uniting the essence of pulque fermentation with the richness of cacao and the vibrancy of Mexican pepper. Aged first in new American oak and then refined in cacao-seasoned barrels, it embodies an extraordinary harmony of earth, spice, and indulgent depth. Every detail, from its hand-crafted pewter topper to its limited availability, marks it as a tribute to mastery and imagination.
The experience opens with a warm wave of caramel and dark chocolate layered over hints of orange zest, leading into a palate where bright citrus dances with soft oak and cocoa tones. A whisper of earthy spice adds dimension, creating balance between richness and vitality. The finish lingers with savory cacao, slowly giving way to a subtle chili-like warmth that fades gracefully. Complex yet cohesive, it’s a sensory journey that intertwines brightness, depth, and a touch of ritualistic fire — a true celebration of artistry elevated to its highest form.
