Amarás Logia Horno - Limited edition
Mezcal Amarás the leading global mezcal brand known for its high-quality mezcals and foundational philosophy towards sustainability, officially expanded their Logia Portfolio with a rare and exclusive new Mezcal Amarás Logia Horno. The extremely limited line, traditionally crafted from the prized Horno Agave, embodies the essence of mezcal made from small and unrepeatable batches with a singular purpose: to bring mezcal connoisseurs a unique experience and to celebrate the select, scarce and once unattainable.
Horno represents a true collectors bottle; it's the only time Amaras will release this agave and this production method. Only 399 bottles were released globally, 180 of which have been allocated to the United States.
Horno marks a transition into a new bottle for all future Amarás Logia releases, marrying past and present through its use of ceramic bottles that pay homage to the rich heritage of mezcal and the ancestral methods of clay pot distillation. This black ceramic bottle is also a first look at the brainchild of Amarás founders, who have set out to redefine and decode the way super-premium mezcal is categorized and identified with a new nomenclature that identifies the specific characteristics of each mezcal based on its production process and the rarity of the agave used. The nomenclature consists of one of two initials depending on its process, which can be "A" for artisanal mezcals or "C" for ancestral mezcals. Horno is a C2 mezcal, made ancestrally (“C”) and (“2”) identified as "2" in the numerical system to assess the relative sugar content at full maturity.
Exclusively sold in specialized stores.
