He is a big man. Stoic and salt of the earth. He pours Tobala to the brim of several jícaras, cups carved from the dried, hulled fruit of the Crescentia tree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mezcal is unlike any spirit we have ever tasted: clean and herbaceous and wonderful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an experience. This is alchemical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaín sees our expressions, and the seriousness in his face transforms into a warm and easy smile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrompted by a question, he begins to share his raison d’être. He tells us how the fermentation “talks” to him and how he listens and how the scent emanating from the mosto (cooked agave) must be just right to begin distillation. His obsession is palpable. We feel it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEZCAL MAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaestro Mezcalero,\u003cbr\u003eGerardo “Kaín” Santiago Hernandez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaín is a fourth-generation mezcalero raised in Matatlan. He is inseparable from this place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarrying mesquite as a boy to the tapada or helping his father in the agave fields, Kaín was fully immersed in all facets of the craft and developed a profound understanding of the blessings of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is here he learned the subtleties of mezcal production by the side of his grandparents and uncles and aunts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSu línea de sangre es mezcal … His bloodline is mezcal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaín’s intuitive knowledge, expertise, and unparalleled palate allow us to bring you the superior mezcal that is Hedonistas de la Fe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHedonistas de la Fe’s exclusive partnership with the Santiago family and their Santa Maria brand mezcal is born of the highest respect for the families, communities, jimadors, and the Oaxacan environment that create our sacred spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlower-blossom forward, with gentle notes of lychee fruit.
