Don Mateo de la Sierra Manso de Sahuayo Mezcal
Don Mateo de la Sierra is the vinata of maestro mezcalero Emilio Vieyra in Pino Bonito, Michoacán, founded in 1840 and now run by Emilio, the sixth generation of his family to make mezcal, together with his parents. Emilio was instrumental in bringing Michoacán into the mezcal denomination of origin and became the state's first certified mezcalero. Manso de Sahuayo is a rare subspecies of Agave americana, formerly called Cenizo, that is unique to the municipality of Sahuayo in Michoacán, and it is released alongside the family's Cupreata, Alto, Silvestre and Pechuga. The agaves are cooked in a traditional conical earthen oven, crushed in a small mechanical grinder, fermented naturally in underground, wood-lined cement tanks with spring water, and distilled in the family's hybrid Filipino-style stills of copper and pine and fir wood, the largest of their kind in the state. It is bottled at about 48% ABV, which can vary by batch. Importer Skurnik describes it as delicate and lactic, with cheese rind, cream, salted caramel, brown butter, white pepper, lime zest and a subtle cucumber note. Sip it neat.
