Originally granted permission by the King of Spain, it stands as one of Mexico's most emblematic historical estates. Unlike smoky Oaxacan styles, the mature Salmiana agaves are steamed in conic stone ovens for three days using vapor rather than underground smoke, preventing flavour contamination. The cooked piñas are crushed using a traditional tahona wheel, fermented in open-top stainless steel tanks, and finally double-distilled in classic copper pot stills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amathus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55067535409495,"sku":null,"price":38.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/5529\/9927\/files\/Jaral.jpg?v=1789742763","url":"https:\/\/artifexdrinks.com\/products\/jaral-de-berrio-mezcal-70cl","provider":"Artifex Drinks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
