Cinco Sentidos Azul: La Colección Mixteca (2019 Series)
Experience a rare intersection of tradition and terroir with Cinco Sentidos Azul, an artisanal masterpiece from the remote highlands of Puebla. This limited 500-liter batch is a testament to the skill of Master Mezcalero Delfino Tobon Mejia, who crafted this spirit in his home village of San Pablo, Ameyaltepec.
While the Agave Tequilana Weber (Azul) is world-famous for its role in tequila, Delfino reimagines the plant through the ancient lens of the Mixteca highlands. Harvested through a communal effort involving seven tons of cultivated agave, this expression is a tribute to the soil of Santo Tomas and the collective spirit of the Oaxacan and Pueblan borders.
The Craft
The production process honors the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of generations:
- The Roast: Seven tons of agave roasted underground for three days using indigenous tehuixtle firewood.
- The Fermentation: A patient, ten-day natural fermentation that coaxes deep complexity from the roasted fibers.
- The Distillation: A single distillation in Delfino’s signature homemade 3-plated copper still, a technique designed to preserve the raw, nuanced depth of the agave and the tepache.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: A delicate balance of soft wood smoke and damp earth, underpinned by the bright, honeyed sweetness of cooked blue agave.
- Palate: Rich and viscous. Expect initial notes of caramelized tropical fruit and roasted nuts, transitioning into mineral-driven undertones characteristic of the Mixteca soil.
- Finish: Long and savory with a gentle floral lift and a whisper of spicy black pepper.
A Spirit with Purpose
As part of La Colección Mixteca, this bottle represents more than just a fine distillate. It is a commitment to the future of traditional agave spirits. A generous portion of the proceeds from the 2019 Series is reinvested directly into the local palenques, ensuring that the master distillers of Puebla and Oaxaca have the resources to continue their vital cultural work.

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.
