Hacienda Oponguio Herbal: A Refreshing Agave Experience
The Uniqueness of Agave Inaequidens
Introducing Hacienda Oponguio Herbal in a 750ML bottle, a mezcal that celebrates the distinct flavors of Michoacán. This spirit is meticulously crafted from Agave inaequidens, a wild agave that requires 20-25 years to mature fully. The Herbal expression is uniquely produced from agaves harvested during the cooler months, resulting in a slightly lower sugar content. This careful selection process yields a mezcal with a fresh, vibrant profile reflective of the rich soil and climate of Erongaricuaro.
A Symphony of Herbal Notes
Hacienda Oponguio Herbal is a delightful journey for the senses. The palate is graced with an array of herbal notes, including the soothing essence of green tea, the fresh zing of cilantro, the sweetness of lemonade, and the earthy touch of dried sage. These flavors combine to create a mezcal that is lively and soothing, offering a unique tasting experience that stands apart from more traditional mezcals.
Savor the Cooler Harvest
The Herbal expression of Hacienda Oponguio is not just a drink; it's a celebration of the diversity of agave flavors. Harvested during the colder months, this mezcal offers a distinctively crisp and refreshing profile, ideal for those who appreciate a lighter, more aromatic spirit. Whether enjoyed neat, in a cocktail or as a sophisticated accompaniment to a meal, Hacienda Oponguio Herbal is sure to delight and surprise.

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.
