CHUCHO Y PONCHO SÁNCHEZ
San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca 0522HSA, 46%, 402 bottles, May, 2022
The 2022 batch of the always popular release from the Sánchez brothers is made from 60% Jabalí and 40% espadín. The agaves are all harvested at the same time, then cooked, milled, fermented and distilled together.
The hermanos Sánchez Altamirano represent the 4th generaton of mezcaleros in the Sánchez family. Having learned the craft from their late father, the famed Faustino Sánchez, they’ve added a lifetime of their own study and experience to fine tune the process behind each batch.
