Fidencio Unico is distilled in a custom, wood fired, Alembic still that was custom designed by their mezcalero, Enrique Jiménez. It is distilled twice and then bottled.
This Mezcal is slightly sweet with subtle aromas of charcoal, green apple and pear. The flavor bouquet goes from slightly smoky to these ripe fruit.
Fidencio Jiménez, the namesake for Fidencio Mezcal, started making mezcal over 100 years ago when he moved to Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. He began to live the life of a Mezcalero, learning from peers and by trial-and-error. He worked closely with his son Enrique to perfect their craft and to pass down their knowledge to the next generation. In those days, even the equipment was from the land: clay pots for fermentation, distillation & storage and river reeds for tubing.
