Process & Profile

Amars Mezcal Reserva Especial Arroqueo C2 (Spring 2024 Edition) is a rare joven mezcal produced from 100% wild Arroqueo agave (Agave americana var. oaxacensis) harvested in the Sierra Sur region of Oaxaca. The agaves, matured for over 12 years, are roasted in conical stone pits using a blend of native woods, crushed by tahona, and naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats. The liquid is double-distilled in copper stills, preserving the wild agaves depth and mineral complexity. Bottled at 43% ABV, this limited C2 batch showcases an exceptionally high concentration of agave sugars, offering a dense, layered, and elegant mezcal experience.
