From The Menzonte Website
"Hildegardo Joya, better known as “Japo” is one of the oldest producers in the west of Jalisco. He is possibly one of the last producers of his generation that continues to work and make the most traditional raicilla in all of Cabo Corrientes.
Japo grows only 3 types of maguey in his mezcalera: Cenizo, Verde, and the most commonly used: Amarillo. These can take from 8 to 35 years to mature.
At 87 years old, he continues to go to the countryside with his machete and clean his land. An eternally jovial man who knows how to have fun without leaving aside the commitment to plant agaves each year even if he knows that he is not going to harvest them. "

From The Producer
"Black Tot Day 2022 marks the third iteration of our annual Master Blender’s Reserve, an ever-evolving perpetual blend crafted by our Master Blender, Oliver Chilton.
For this year’s blend, we drew inspiration from historical rums in our collection and the unique flavour profiles they exhibited over half a century ago. These rums, since lost in the rum world, were rich with notes of baked banana, dusty chocolate, mocha milkshakes, honey, tobacco, leather, liquorice, and spice. These flavours were mapped out and became our guide."
