A very representative mezcal of its terroir. Green Aromas chiles and slate with a lactic hint with flavors of sweet bell pepper, brined onion, and herbal overtones.

The aroma almost suggests a Bloody Mary with its mix of tomato water, lemon balm, cilantro and saline sea breeze. The palate is gently sweet and lemony, with minimal smoke and a light, almost foamy texture. Sip or mix.
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.
