Lost Mexican - Blanco Agave

Often seen as the purest form of all Agave Spirits, Pocketful of Stones 'Lost Mexican - Blanco' is Cornwalls first Agave, and has been made in partnership with the Orendain family of Jalisco Mexico, before being rested in Mezcal Barrels on the wild Cornish Coast.

In early 1825, Stanley Kiernan, the son of a Penzance distiller, set sail from Falmouth with around 60 of his fellow Cornishmen and 1,500 tons of mining machinery. They arrived in Mineral del Monte, Mexico, in May 1826, where they immediately set to work resurrecting the region’s derelict silver mines.

Before too long, the mines were up and running, the pasty was the new staple in town, and Stanley fashions a basic still out of damaged mining equipment. With the help of the locals and their succulent botanicals, he starts to experiment, and on that windswept hill in central Mexico, the world’s first Cornish-made mezcal is born – a recipe lost in time until now…

Nose: Fresh minerality with subtle hints of citrus and fresh grass.

Taste: Very smooth cooked agave flavour with lite peppercorn notes.

Finish: Long slightly spicy finish.
