In drinks, as in all things, it’s good to have your expectations or preconceptions completely blown out of the water from time to time. My first uttered words upon tasting the Artesanal Arroqueo agave distillate from Paquera are not exactly suitable for print, but the gist was “Wow.” The world of mezcal is fascinating for a myriad of reasons, from its lengthy cultural history to its many unique production methods.

Surprisingly, it’s neither a reposado nor an anejo, but rather another blanco — specifically a high-proof version of its silver bottling bottled at 54% abv. There doesn’t appear to be any difference in the production process here vs. the standard blanco aside from the bottling proof.
