Cinco Sentidos (5 Sentidos) Colección Mixteca Pizorra
Experience a truly unique expression of agave with Cinco Sentidos Colección Mixteca Edición 4, featuring Pizorra (Agave marmorata) distilled by Maestro Mezcalero Delfino Tobón Mejía. This special bottling is a journey into the heart of the mountainous Mixteca region, where traditional methods and rare agaves come together to create an extraordinary spirit.
Delfino Tobón Mejía, alongside friends and family, wild-harvested these magnificent, white-striped Pizorra agaves from the pristine outskirts of San Pablo Ameyaltepec, Puebla—a town whose name beautifully translates to "the mountain where water is born." This deep connection to the land is evident in every sip.
The agaves were meticulously roasted for four days in an underground conical pit oven, using tlahuicole firewood to impart a distinctive smoky character. After milling with a mechanical shredder, the agave underwent a natural fermentation with pure spring water for approximately one week. The resulting mash and tepache were then distilled just once in Delfino's custom-made, hybrid 3-plated copper still, a testament to his unique approach. The spirit is then carefully proofed with a blend of heads, hearts, and holanda, showcasing Delfino's masterful touch.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: A captivating bouquet of sweet roasted agave immediately emerges, intertwined with subtle notes of earthy minerality and a hint of wet stone. Delicate undertones of anise and fresh herbs dance alongside a gentle, lingering smokiness that speaks to the tlahuicole firewood.
- Palate: The initial sip is a delightful revelation—a vibrant burst of cooked agave sweetness balanced by a distinct savory, almost briny character. Mid-palate, notes of black pepper and cinnamon appear, leading to a complex interplay of tropical fruit and a refreshing citrus zest. The unique distillation method contributes to a remarkably smooth and clean mouthfeel, with a subtle warming sensation.
- Finish: The finish is long and evolving, leaving a pleasant impression of sweet agave, mild smoke, and a lingering mineral essence. Hints of spicy earthiness and a touch of grapefruit peel round out this truly memorable experience.

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.
