5 Sentidos Sierra Negra is produced using maguey Sierra Negra by mezcalero Reynaldo Alejandro at his palenque “La Ilusión”. The agaves are cooked in a brick-lined underground oven, hand-mashed with wooden mallets, fermented in both rawhide and stone tanks with “encino de ague” bark, and double-distilled to taste in a set of eight clay pot stills.
In 2024, Reynaldo’s Sierra Negra became the primary 5 Sentidos Sierra Negra distributed in the United States, in place of the releases from Alberto Martinez, his father-in-law.
