Mezcal

A premium mezcal created for high-end mixology. Handmade in small batches from carefully selected 10-12 year old agaves. Very soft in the mouth with sweet ripe fruits dominating the palate and a backbone of subtle and intermingled smoke and spice.

Original Village Series. Handcrafted in San Balthazar Chichicapa, Oaxaca, located in a broad valley with a semitropical microclimate. Agave: Espadin. Nose of sweet roasted agave & toasted corn, palate of dried fruit & sweet almond, finish of bitter chocolate & mint.

Balanced and elegant. Hints of tamarind and pomegranate aromas are followed by herbal tones of fresh mint and dried oregano.

The Agaves used to make 400 CONEJOS can take between 8 & 15 years to reach optimum maturity. The Pinas are slow cooked for 3-5 days, milled by stone, then kept in a wood tub as they begin the fermentation process. Our mezcal Joven is double distilled then bottled to enjoy!

Made in Durango, Mexico from wild Cenizo Agave and undergoes a very traditional production process that includes natural spring water, rich minerals and an ancestral distillation process.

Aroma: Fruity to the nose. Pineapple and apple notes with a touch of herbal and fresh aromas (citrus and cucumber seeds). Ending with a touch of ash and cloves notes.

This ensamble is a blend of Espadin and Tobalá. Tobalá is known as king of the agaves because of its uniqueness. The agave itself is very different from most other varietals. It is physically smaller with drastically different leaves compared to Espadín and it can only be reproduced through seeds, unlike most agaves which can also produce offshoots. This makes Tobalá difficult to find and even harder to make into Mezcal since you need more of them compared to larger plants.

Amaras Espadin is made with agave Espadin. Bottles of this mezcal are made by several different producers, so check your bottle for details. Many bottles are produced by Armando Martinez, but they also work with producers in Mitla, San Carlos, and San Juan del Rio.
