Description

Contraluz created 11:11 in collaboration with Maluma. This reposado mezcal spends 11 months and 11 days in a combination of bourbon and Japanese Sakura casks. Charcoal filtration follows the aging process. Cherry wood contributes floral notes, bringing another influence alongside the agave and the bourbon casks. The name points to the idea of savoring the present moment.

The nose is delicate, with agave, vanilla, and florals. Agave and vanilla continue on the palate, joined by citrus brightness. Wood notes emerge as the sip develops. The finish carries light smoke and a subtle fruity character, keeping the closing flavors in step with the restrained aromas.

Serve neat or over one large ice cube. Orange slices and sal de gusano are an option, as are dark chocolate or grilled stone fruits.
