This exceptional Mezcal from the far flung Yaupetec sub-region of southwestern Oaxaca has one of the Mezcal world's most endearing stories. The amazing story begins with one man named Daniel Arellano Martinez. He was born and raised in San Bartolo and lived and breathed the Oaxacan Mezcal culture until he moved to New York City as a young man. Before the world had gone crazy for Mezcal, Daniel began working in restaurants as a server. It wasn't until one fateful night when a customer had questions about Mezcal that Danny made his great prowess and knowl...

Rey Campero Espadin uses wild agave Espadin that is fermented in open air with wild yeasts. In true Rey Campero fashion, only the highest quality agave are used in production and the difference between wild agave Espadin instead of the more commonly used farmed Espadin makes a world of difference in this Mezcal. The Rey Campero Espadin is also aged before bottling, which adds complexity and depth. Considering the quality the pricing is absolutely astounding from this legendary distillery in Candelaria Yegole.

The wonderful and affordable Metiche 49 is produced by Mezcalero Juan Manuel Perez Juarez in Charcas, San Luis Potosi. The old Hacienda Laguna Seca is relatively large and provides spirits primarily for regional brands. This high elevation terroir, over 6500 feet above sea level, and the slow growing agave salmiana, give the Metiche one of the most complex and nuanced flavors of any mezcal on the market today. The distillery hasn't changed it's production practices for more than a century, but this is not the big smokey mezcal some are expecting. The fla...

El Viejo is a special blend of Tobalá and Espadin from Unión Mezcal. The union between the producers, farmers, and importers is what this brand is all about, and the name is an homage to an elderly man who told them ensuring the future of mezcal would require a Unión. The brand helps support a replanting project for wild agaves through a careful nursery program and replanting the young plants in their natural habitat. Of the thousands of seeds they plant, only a handful will germinate. But still replanting them in the wild has a much higher success rate...

ESPADIN Region: Sa...

Mezcal Vago is the business creation of Judah Kuper in conjunction with his in-laws in Oaxaca: a family of distillers that has been making mezcal for generations. Vago marks the first time their products have been available commercially, having previously been consumed solely by friends and family. The Espadin is the classic expression from Judah's father-in-law Aquilino García López. It's distilled from cultivated Espadin agave and showcases a clean and vibrant palate of citrus and smoke. Each batch is a little different from the last as Aquilino uses o...

Emigdio Jarquín's palenque is based in Miahuatlan among the rolling hills two and a half hours due south of Oaxaca City. A specialist in the Espadín varietal of agave, he roasts the piñas for 5-7 days, which is on the longer side compared to other mezcaleros in the region. After crushing the agave with a large cement tahona, Emigdio distills in a 300L copper refrescador, similar to a copper alembic still, which essentially allows for two distillations in the same pass. Mezcal Vago has been on a decade-long tear and the brand has become a force among mezc...

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "The ripe, fruity style of this mezcal lends itself to making margarita variations and other cocktails. Look for tropical fruit flavors like lychee and banana, and a mild note of jalapeño on the finish. *Best Buy* (KN)" (12/2013) K&L Notes: Unión Mezcal is an organization devoted to helping Zapotec families from the mountains of Oaxaca via a fair trade business model.

Don Lucio and his sons represent the third and fourth generations of mezcaleros in the Morales Family. They produce a beautiful, easy drinking mezcal that is uniquely their own, yet appealing to all. Complex enough to be enjoyed on its own, but the slightly higher proof allows it to shine through in cocktails where most of the cocktail priced offers can easily get lost. Expect a nose of roasted bbq, tropical fruit, elote, citrus peel, and pine resin. On the palate savory leather, wild fruit, and flambéed banana. The finish is long and satisfying with a m...

Alipús is a special series made from contracted Mezcales, purchased and marketed by the Danzantes group in Oaxaca, and imported into California by Craft Distillers. Each label corresponds to one of four villages where the producers are located. All of them are made entirely from Espadin agave (with the exception of the San Andres that has a smidge of something else thrown in during fermentation). Each bottling shows the geographical differences that terroir, fermentation, and water ultimately play in flavor. They're all produced the same way - made from ...

One of the best values right now and a great example of the potential from this up and coming mezcal region. Cenizo is the local name for the Agave Durangesis, named for the state where this Agave grows abundantly. The name Cenizo, meaning ashy, comes from the disctintive gray color of the pencas. While many other regions used the term to describe local plants, it is only this varietal that can legally be called Cenizo today. The slow growing broad curved leaves of the Cenizo are as distinctive as its flavor and pinas can way many hundreds of kilos when ...

New mezcals de un pueblo from Craft Distillers! The Alipus line is a fabulous selection of quality selections at reasonable prices. The San Baltazar Guelavila village mezcal is fermented in pine vats and distilled by Don Cosme Hernandez from agave Espadin grown at 5,700 feet in white, rocky soil. More delicate in mouthfeel than the other two, the palate is still quite expressive with sweet fruits and white pepper notes intertwining with the smoky tang. Earthy notes on the finish. Delicious.
