Master mezcalero, Leo Hernández, selects the best agaves to create a product based on centuries of tradition. The Grulani estate is entirely organic and the agaves are grown sustainably and allowed to mature fully before harvest. The bottles are made in nearby Jalisco from recycled glass and the paper labels are made from the waste fibers of their own agave. This is arguably the most sustainable mezcal on the market. Grulani's attention to detail is apparent in all their processes, and evident in the quality of the final liquor. 

100% Barríl (A. Karwinskii) from San Baltazar Guelavila. Average age of agaves at harvest is 15 years. The pinas are cooked in an earthen oven pit over oak for 4.5 days, crushed with a stone mill pulled by a horse, fermented for 5-7 days in pine vats, then triple distilled in Grulani's own copper alembic. 

This Barríl is the second of highly limited, once-annual productions from Grulani; only 360L (450 bottles) were produced. Intense with a ton of body on the palate, notes of beef jerky and smoky salty herbs, and a touch of spice and graham cracker on the finish.
