History,
Mexicano (Agave rhodacantha) is among the most widespread varieties in Mexico, with examples turning up and even being cultivated from Sonora to Oaxaca and beyond. It typically looks quite similar to the more well-known Azul (Agave tequilana) and Espadín (Agave angustifolia) except quite a bit larger and with more & denser spiney leaves (“pencas”).
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Strong citrus, jalapeno, light smoke.
Palate: Ancho pepper heat on the tongue that gives way to a very mineral/slate flavor followed by honey, chocolate, mint, citrus zest, pine
