La Travesía Destilado De Agave is a premium spirit that carries on the deep roots and tradition of agave cultivation by the Arellanes family, which has been growing agave in Oaxaca, Mexico for eleven generations. La Travesía, which translates as 'The Journey', refers to the long journey of the agave from seedling to perfect spirit.
The agave Espadín used in this spirit is grown and harvested after 6-8 years. It is cooked in a quarry limestone kiln for more than 30 hours. The agave juice is extracted and undergoes a three-day wild fermentation in open-air vats. Distillation is carried out in small batches using traditional copper alembic stills, ensuring the high quality and unique character of this mezcal.
Nose: Intense mineral and smoky agave notes with accents of roasted pineapple and dried herbs.
Taste: Smoky nuances mingle with sweetness of tropical fruits, cherries and tobacco. These flavours are complemented by mineral salinity and earthy notes of roasted peppers and mushrooms.
Finish: Lingering and slightly dry.
The distillate comes from the Real de Minas distillery and is part of the portfolio of True Believers, a brand that focuses on producing premium spirits at competitive prices. True Believers works with the best distillers and emphasizes transparency, with a focus on the needs of today's bartenders. This approach reflects the founders' extensive experience in the distribution and bar industry, and fosters a symbiotic relationship between distillers and bartenders.
La Travesía Destilado De Agave is thus not only an expression of the art of mezcal, but also a reflection of the care and heritage that the Arellanes family and True Believers put into each bottle.
