5 Sentidos is a collective of 5 tequila maestros, hailing from 5 regions and creating 5 unique expressions of agave.

Sierra Negra is crafted by Alberto Martinez and his son-in-law Reynaldo at their palenque in Santa Catarina Albarradas, located in the Sierra Norte mountains of Oaxaca.

The Sierra Negra (commonly known as Agave Americana) used in this batch were cultivated almost 7,500 feet above sea level. Alberto and Reynaldo cook the agave in volcanic rock lined pits, mash the cooked agave with mallets, it is then fermented in concrete tanks with spring water. To help stabilise the fermentation during the extremely cold nights, bark from Encino de Agua (water oak) trees is added in to the tanks, acting as a natural source of nitrogen, stimulating the yeasts. Finally it is double distilled in clay pots with additional spring water.

Aromas of tropical fruits, sweet herbs and eucalyptus. Similar flavours on the palate with pineapple shining through dominantly with currants, sweeter herbs and a mineral and acidic finish.
