Cinco Sentidos (5 Sentidos) Colección Mixteca Blanco
Journey to the heart of the Mixteca with Cinco Sentidos Colección Mixteca Blanco, a truly exceptional destilado de agave crafted by the revered Maestro Mezcalero Delfino Tobón Mejía in San Pablo Ameyaltepec, Puebla. This 225-liter batch is a testament to Delfino's dedication to time-honored techniques and the unique terroir of the region.
This remarkable spirit begins with mammoth, low-yielding agaves, meticulously cultivated for nearly 15 years on the outskirts of Tehuacán, Puebla, before they are harvested. Distilled in May 2024 and bottled in June 2024, this expression captures the essence of these mature agaves at their peak.
"La Colección Mixteca" represents a carefully curated selection of small-batch agave spirits, each showcasing a maestro mezcalero's distinct interpretation of regional agaves and production methods that have largely fallen out of favor in modern times. By choosing this bottle, you're not only experiencing a piece of history but also contributing to its future, as a significant portion of sales from this collection will directly support Palenque improvement projects.
This is Series 2025. 47.2% ABV
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose immediately captivates with a vibrant freshness, unveiling pronounced notes of cooked agave intertwined with a beautiful minerality and a subtle hint of wet earth. Delicate floral undertones reminiscent of orange blossom and a whisper of sweet citrus emerge, offering a bright and inviting complexity.
- Palate: The first sip offers a harmonious balance of sweet and savory flavors. The cooked agave expresses itself with a rich, almost caramelized sweetness, quickly followed by a clean, mineral-driven purity. Mid-palate, nuanced flavors of white pepper, lime zest, and a touch of herbal freshness develop, creating a lively and engaging profile. Its robust character is beautifully integrated, showcasing the long cultivation of the agave.
- Finish: The finish is enduring and elegant, leaving a clean, crisp sensation. Lingering notes of sweet agave, earthy minerality, and a subtle peppery spice provide a satisfying conclusion, inviting another sip. The higher ABV is wonderfully integrated, offering a pleasant warmth without harshness.

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.
