Description:   Porfidio Fraxinus adds a new dimension to the agave spirits category by venturing into a new aging medium beyond anything else used or seen before in Mexico. SAME AS ALL OTHER BARREL-AGED PORFIDID PRODUCTS • Made from 100% Blue Agave • Made from cold-pressed blue agave juice • The cold-pressed agave juice is cold-hydrolyzed by active enzymes • The fermented agave juice is double-distilled with a state-of-art German Holstein still • This agave spirit is continuously aged in the same virgin barrels throughout the entire aging cycle • These barrels are medium-toasted and not charred THE UNIQUE POINTS OF DIFFERENCE • Porfidio Fraxinus is not aged in oak barrels, the industry standard, but, quite uniquely, in Fraxinus wood barrels • Historically, Fraxinus trees were known among the Germanic tribes as the "Tree of the Gods' and "Spiritual Center of the World''. • Fraxinus trees have been deemed as a source of natural medicines in Europe for thousands of years • The Fraxinus tree needs at least 100 years to reach maturity • Only 14 barrels were made from our one Fraxinus tree. Hence, Porfidio Fraxinus is a single-tree agave spirit • The Fraxinus tree for our barrels was planted in the year 1857 in the locality of Landshut, Bavaria, and harvested on its 150th birthday in 2007. The tree was nicknamed "Die Hunnenschlacht Esche," so named after Franz Liszt's symphonic poem first performed in Weimar in the same year. • After cutting, the wood was open-air-seasoned - not kiln dried - for 36 months • The wood staves for our barrels were cut by the artisan splitting method (as opposed to sawing) • Fraxinus wood contains almost no wood tannins, contrary to oak, so there is no presence of any of the typical tannin astringency associated with oak in the aftertaste of Porfidio Fraxinus • Despite the staves going through the same toasting process as oak barrels, Fraxinus wood imparts, contrary to oak, almost no color to the liquid • Atypically for agave spirits, Porfidio Fraxinus is continental-aged at cold temperatures in the Bavarian Alps, not tropically-aged • In Mexico's 500+ years history, no agave spirit has ever been known to have been aged in Fraxinus wood barrels, so this an industry first. PACKAGING DETAILS • This is a hand-made, highest-quality porcelain bottle, not ceramic • In a testament to the skills of our porcelain maker, this porcelain bottle is covered with a full-body protruding line pattern + protruding letters+ the protruding Porfidio cactus logo at three different protrusion levels TASTING NOTES • Delicate • Dry • Subtle • Sophisticated • Zero tannin astringency.
