Gem & Bolt, Artisnal Mezcal with Damiana
44.0% | 70.0cl
Long ago in ancient Mexico, a lightning bolt struck the heart—or gem—of the agave plant, burning and fermenting its sugars and producing the plant’s precious, magical sap known today as mezcal.
Gem & Bolt Mezcal and Damiana is made in Oaxaca, Mexico by a fourth-generation master distiller with espadÃn agave and fresh mountain spring water. A procedure that is heavily influenced by hundreds of years of tradition.
EspadÃn agave, a stoic plant pollinated by bats at night, can take up to ten years to grow in the daylight. Their agave is hand-harvested, carefully wood-roasted in earth-pit furnaces, then mashed using a traditional tahona stone. Roasted mash is fermented organically in wooden vats and meticulously distilled in tiny copper stills.
Tasting Note
Made with damiana, a flowering shrub long treasured in Mexico for its uplifting herbal properties. Peppermint, lavender and eucalyptus on the nose — herbaceous and compelling. Slightly sweet and fruity on the palate.
