LALOCURA San Martinero 750 ml

Lalocura San Martinero rounds out the brand's Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca lineup with a wild Karwinskii-family agave known locally as San Martinero. Clay-pot distilled in the traditional Minas style, it opens with wet clay, mineral and cooked-agave aromas, layered with floral, fruity and savory notes, then chocolate on the back end. The palate is rich and complex, balancing fruit and mint against that same mineral backbone. It's the most food-friendly of the three Lalocura wild-agave bottlings here, with enough weight to stand up to a meal rather than just a solo sipper.

How to drink Lalocura San Martinero

Neat, at room temperature, ideally alongside food — its chocolate and mineral depth pairs surprisingly well with grilled meats or dark chocolate dessert. A small splash of water can open the aromatics further if you want to explore it slowly.
