Focused on the rare wild agave cupreata, called papalometl where Animas sources it. Animas distills a 100% papalometl, a truly gorgeous espadín, and a rich ensamble of the two. Everything is done as it should be, or better. This is great mezcal.

Check out the logo. Animas is Spanish for “souls”; below it, Spanish for “spirit liquified”. Purifying and concentrating the soul of the agave, its spirit, is what great distillation is about. There’s a reason distilled spirits are called “spirits”.
