Chacolo 3 Anos Capon A.Angustifolia Cimarron 750ml
Three-Year Capon, Ancestral Jalisco Tradition
Chacolo 3 Años Capón is a rare and extraordinary destilado de agave made from Agave Angustifolia Cimarrón — a "capón" agave, meaning the plant has had its flower stalk cut before blooming, forcing the agave to concentrate its sugars in the piña for additional years before harvest. This technique, practiced by traditional mezcaleros in Jalisco for generations, produces an agave of exceptional sweetness and complexity. Aged three years in oak, this expression adds a further layer of depth to an already extraordinary base spirit.
Tasting Notes

- Palate: Smooth and deeply layered — roasted agave sweetness, caramel, and a warming smoke with a satisfying oak influence and a complexity that speaks to the capón technique and extended aging
- Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, vanilla, and a clean, toasted oak warmth
