Geared towards sustainability, Maestro Mezcalero Armando Hernndez watches over the production. Himself a 3rd generation mezcalero, Hernndez relies on traditional methods, handed down by his father and his grandfather before that. This means that the agave is slowly roasted underground for 4 to 5 days. Then, it is crushed by a horse-drawn tahona mill and left to naturally ferment for 5 to 10 days. Afterwards, they are double-distilled using 250-liter copper-pot stills and rested before finally being bottled. Mal de Amor Barril is crafted with 100% agave karwinskii. These unique agaves are harvested at peak maturity at 13 years of age. Bottled at 90 proof, the expression is fruity and herbal with smoke notes and plenty of depth.
