Emanuel is very well known for his distillation of agave spirits and this expression made with Dasylirion serratifolium is a rare release. The plants were single distilled in a copper refrescadera still.

8 reviewsOne of my favorites. Sweet pineapple and grassy. Semi dry Dasylirion finish. One taste isn’t enough. This bottle gets better with every pour

Was perhaps a little too excited to try this. Over time have tasted a great many Cucharillo, and haven’t had a steady streak of Dasylirion from Oaxaca that have impressed. This stood out immediately and had not only a unmistakeable aroma which brought about visions of soil and struggle, but flavor on the tongue that didn’t disappoint at all. Multi-flavor combination that took a good while to unpack. I’ll be going for a bottle of this soon, especially seeing the production was only 150 liters. Amazing.

736 reviewsCitric and herbal aromas. Notes of lemon, lime, oregano, and bay leaves on the nose. The palate is bright with honey, cinnamon, brown sugar, and sweet potato french fries. It’s a bit hot on the back of the palate with a light numbing element.

430 reviewsThis is the expression that I was most looking forward to after loving the Maguey Melate from Hermogenes Vasquez García which was from the same area, but it was my least favorite of the four expressions that I sampled. It’s still well made though. Very one note, I got a lot of pineapple flavor and menthol. Cut grass and a slight earthiness that reminded me of Ancho chilies.
