A small cooperative in the village of Xochipala Guerrero created Cinco Sentidos Delgado y Ancho. Together they harvested 6 tons of wild agave “Delgado,” named for its remarkably thin leaves, and 7 tons of wild agave “Ancho,” colloquially referred to as such due to its broad-leafed “penca.”

5 Sentidos Guerrero Delgado Y Ancho Agave Spirit 750ml - For the first time in our short history as a brand, we have bottled a couple of expressions of mezcal in which the agaves were *not* cooked in an underground oven, but rather a diesel-powered, above-ground steam oven.
In response to seeing trees in the region (Eduardo Neri) be chopped down but not replanted, the small, newly-formed cooperative behind these mezcales decided that a steam oven would be the more environmentally conscious method to cook their agaves.
The results are as outstanding as they are enlightening.
Tasting Notes
The blend of Delgado and Ancho mezcals is a unique and flavorful mezcal that offers the best of both worlds - the fruity sweetness of the Delgado and the subtle smokiness of the Ancho.
- On the nose, the mezcal presents aromas of tropical fruits and a hint of wood smoke.
- On the palate, the mezcal offers a smooth and creamy texture, with flavors of ripe mango, pineapple, and other tropical fruits, as well as notes of cooked agave and a subtle smokiness.
- The finish is long and satisfying, with a sweet and fruity aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
The Delgado and Ancho mezcal blend is perfect for sipping or mixing into cocktails for a complex and flavorful twist.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
