Cruz de Fuego Mezcal - Cirial

Shipping not available. In-store pickup only.

Physically imposing and rare to find in cultivation around Oaxaca, Cirial is one of the largest of the Agave karwinskii subspecies. Carlos and Margarita produce a particularly balanced and subtly nuanced example, walking a tightrope between delicate fruits, earthy smoke, dried herbs, and tea leaves.
