Papalome Maguey is distilled without machinery, from earthen oven to clay pot.
Papalome Maguey is distilled entirely without machinery: agave is cooked in an earthen oven, hand-mashed, fermented in hides in the open air, and distilled in clay pots, which is what carries the agave and ancestral method into the bottle. At 43.1% ABV in a 750ml bottle, it is best enjoyed neat, since nothing added keeps the traditional production most legible. Priced at $190, it is a deliberately manual alternative to industrial agave spirits, with the value resting on labor rather than volume or convenience. It suits drinkers who want process as the central character rather than a cocktail base.
