Distilled twice in a copper still
Adjusted with spring water until reaching 46% ABV
Our community is one of the few in which this variety grows naturally. Much like Espadín, the Lumbre agave has been present in our central valleys from very early on.
To make Grulani Lumbre, we need between 9 and 10 kg of maguey per bottle. Depending on whether it’s the rainy or dry season, our Lumbre is fermented for 5-7 days in pine vats and subsequently distilled twice in a copper still. The first distillation, or simple distillation, of Lumbre can reach up to 30% ABV.
Intense and with medium density on the palate, Lumbre has notes of wood, leather, and a slight astringency, and a creamy body that finishes dry. A reference in avant-garde cocktails.
Grulani’s Lumbre mezcal is one of the most unique expressions that we have in our selection, in part because it is difficult to reproduce outside the small environment of our community, San Baltazar Guelavila, in Oaxaca.
