Siglo Cero Pox Mezcal
Description
Siglo Cero Pox Mezcal is a type of distilled spirit made from agave plants in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. Pox is a traditional drink that has been consumed by the indigenous peoples of Chiapas for centuries, and Siglo Cero is a modern brand that seeks to honor that tradition while also bringing it to a wider audience.
Pox is made from the roasted hearts of the agave plant, also known as the piña. The piñas are cooked in a pit oven, mashed, and then fermented with water and wild yeast. The resulting liquid is then distilled in copper pot stills to create a clear, high-proof spirit.
Siglo Cero Pox Mezcal is unique in that it is made using a blend of different types of agave, including Espadín, Madre Cuishe, and Tobalá. This gives the mezcal a complex flavor profile that includes notes of smoke, earth, and fruit.
Siglo Cero Pox Mezcal can be enjoyed on its own as a sipping spirit, or mixed into cocktails to add a smoky and distinctive flavor. It is often used in margaritas or other tequila-based cocktails as a substitute for a more traditional agave spirit.
