Distiller Notes
This complex, layered spirit is earthy and subtly smoky, opening with pepper, citrus and herb flavors interlaced with soft hints of smoke, then revealing notes of vanilla and spice.
Pair with fire roasted vegetables and meat, bright citrus, epazote and Indigenous fruits.
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.
