"Delfino is absolutely nailing the style, and it's no wonder this expression has developed such an avid legion of fans." - Andrew Kitz, B-21 Spirits Buyer
If you're a mezcal fan or collector and you haven't jumped on board with 5 Sentidos yet, you're missing out on some of the most compelling, artfully crafted offerings in the category. The brainchild of American Jason Cox, the project began as a collection of house mezcals selected for his upstart Oaxaca restaurant El Destilado. This transplant with an insatiable thirst for artisan agave spirits spent countless hours and miles traversing Oaxaca and its surrounding environs, scouting out the best artisan mezcal producers no one had yet heard of. We're talking true family operations that run on sweat and calloused hands and that produce stunningly complex, singular expressions you won't find anywhere else.
Today, the 5 Sentidos range offers a dizzying array of options and styles, but an undisputed fan-favorite is the Pechuga de Mole Poblano from Defino Tobón Mejia, a show-stopping representation of the style. Defino ferments the agave cupreata (aka Papalote) with a freshly slaughtered chicken from his back yard, dousing it in homemade mole poblano in the process. "A veritable bomb of savory, meaty goodness," the Pechuga de Mole is a wild ride of complexity and intrigue.
If you're already familiar with 5 Sentidos, you'll no doubt recall that this item has been out of stock for while, and it's hard to say when more will be available after this parcel is gone, so you'll definitely want to add this gem to your shelf while you can, and if you haven't discovered them yet, this is the perfect introduction to the top-tier craftsmanship that goes into all of Jason Cox's selections. |
