Detailed Description
Ensamble Olla En Barro comes from the palenque of Salomón Rey Rodriguez or “Tío Rey” (Uncle Rey), from the Sola de Vega region. “Olla de Barro” are clay pots used in the distillation of the local mezcal. He cultivates more than 15 agave varieties, blending them together when they have reached maturity. Each batch is therefore a combination of different agave species and varies slightly. Naturally, the entire production process is traditional and involves the whole family. There are no additives as well, a point that is driven home by the label, as it contains plentiful information about the production process, region, agaves, batch size, and more.
