Corte Vetusto Mezcal Ensamble
Corte Vetusto, "the ancient cut," is the mezcal of Juan Carlos González Díaz, a fourth-generation Zapotec maestro mezcalero whose family tradition runs back to his great-grandfather, Don Mauro. He produces in San Pablo Villa de Mitla, Oaxaca, under NOM O363X. The Ensamble is a limited release that changes from batch to batch, so check the side of the label for the specific agaves in your bottle. Ensamble II is made from equal parts espadín, wild tobalá and madrecuishe (a karwinskii). The three are cooked together in an earthen pit oven, crushed with a stone tahona and fermented naturally with wild yeast, then double distilled: first in a 250-liter copper pot still and then in a 70-liter clay pot, the ancestral step that gives the spirit extra texture. Ensamble II is bottled at 43.5% ABV. Tasters describe an aroma that is chalky and sweet, with lemon, herbs and a slight smokiness, followed by vanilla and honey, tart citrus, pepper, herbal and floral notes, and a warming, earthy finish. A small-batch blend that rewards mezcal drinkers who like to compare releases.
