Espíritu Lauro Añejo Mezcal
Espíritu Lauro Añejo is the longest-aged mezcal from the palenque in San Agustín Amatengo, Oaxaca, that Don Lauro founded in the 1920s and Espíritu Corsa took over in 2010, with Carino Ramirez as mezcalero and certification under NOM O138X. Like the joven and reposado, it is an ensamble of 70% Espadín, harvested at six to nine years, and 30% karwinskii, harvested at fifteen to seventeen years. The piñas are cooked in an underground stone oven, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, wild fermented in wooden vats, and distilled in copper. The mezcal is then aged for fourteen months in American white oak barrels before bottling at 40% ABV, past the one-year mark that defines añejo mezcal. Aged mezcal is still relatively uncommon, since most producers bottle joven to keep the agave front and center, and this one shows what time in wood does to the category. Mezcal Reviews describes it as smooth and easy to drink, slightly smoky, with the oak giving it a caramel color and taste, and suggests it as a good bridge for tequila drinkers moving into mezcal. Pour it neat into a snifter or copita, or use it in place of whiskey in an Old Fashioned.
