Pal'alma Salmiana Joven San Luis Potosí Destilado de Agave
This Pal'alma bottling comes from the Peñasco region of San Luis Potosí and is made entirely from Agave salmiana, the same maguey the region taps for pulque. It was made by the late maestro mezcalero Patricio Hernández and is labeled destilado de agave rather than mezcal. The process ties directly to the region's pulque tradition. The 100% salmiana is cooked with steam in a masonry oven and crushed with a stone tahona, and the mosto left over from pulque harvesting is added to the batch. Fermentation happens in pine vats with wild yeast and 30% pulque, the fermented agave sap itself, and the spirit is distilled twice in a hybrid wood and copper pot still with a refrescadera condenser. It's bottled at 50% ABV. The importer's notes describe bell pepper and fresh leather on the nose, the creamy, lactic character salmiana is known for on the palate, and a racy edge from the light, sharp pulque, finishing with cracked peppercorn, cool clean linen and a hint of pine. A rare look at a tradition most agave drinkers have never tasted.
