Crafted in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, Don Mateo de la Sierra Floreado is a rare, limited-edition artisanal sacrificio mezcal produced by fifth-generation maestro mezcalero Emilio Vieyra. Made from 100% wild Cupreata agave (Agave cupreata) harvested in the pine-forested slopes of Pino Bonito, the mature piñas are cooked in an underground conical stone pit fueled by oak wood and open-fermented in wooden vats with native airborne yeasts. True to the ceremonial pechuga or floreado tradition, the spirit undergoes a special third distillation where local field flowers, wild herbs, seasonal fruits, and regional botanicals (along with venison or turkey breast) are suspended inside the traditional Filipino-style wooden still. This botanical steam distillation infuses the distillate with an extraordinary aromatic bouquet, balancing sweet agave and pine smoke with vibrant floral, fruity, and herbal complexity.
Food Pairing: Pan-seared duck breast, roasted pork tenderloin, mole poblano, artisanal goat cheese crostini, fresh fig tarts, or dark chocolate with candied orange.
Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with brilliant clarity, a silky medium-to-full body, and slow-dripping, viscous tears.
Nose: Intensely aromatic and floral, opening with sweet cooked agave, orange blossom, and wild mountain flowers, supported by subtle pine smoke, green herbs, dried fruit, and a hint of warm baking spice.
Palate: Rich, round, and multi-layered on the palate, featuring caramelized agave nectar, ripe stone fruits, and sweet herbal tea upfront before unfolding into soft oak smoke, cracked white pepper, pine resin, and a savory, botanical richness.
Finish: Long, elegant, and warm with lingering notes of sweet floral nectar, gentle wood smoke, zesty citrus pith, and a velvety mineral earthiness.
Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a traditional clay copita or Glencairn glass to allow the complex floral and botanical aromas of this limited sacrificial distillation to fully open.
