Distiller Notes
Mayalen Borrego shows an aroma full of wet tobacco, with earthy, sensous notes of smoked game and dried fruit. Palate shows delicate interplay of coffee berries with floral lily notes, fading into a deep savory finish punctuated by light spice notes. Triple distilled in copper infused with tender meat of a lamb.

Wine Enthusiast
Brisk and refreshing, expect a citrusy explosion on nose and palate, with waxy lemon peel and lemon verbena followed by pine, cilantro, fresh bay leaf and mint, plus a drying, lip-smacking finish marked by cayenne heat.

Para todo mal, Mezcal, y para todo bien, también.
"For everything bad, Mezcal, and for everything good as well." Most often consumed straight or with salt, chilis and an orange, lemon, or lime, Mezcal is an agave-based spirit whose production methods vary widely depending on the region, traditions and preferences of the producer. Rather than boiling or steaming the agave, which is done in Tequila production, Mezcal is made by cooking the agave in wood-fired pits before fermentation. Consequently, Mezcal is often characterized by smoky nuances, which are a product of this alternative production method.
