This espadin (A. Angustifolia) mezcal is the perfect pick for anyone starting to explore the world of quality mezcal or as a relatively inexpensive option for mezcal-based cocktails. It's very approachable and laden with sweet agave fruit. The smoke component is decidedly there, but not very intense, as one would expect with a well-made mezcal. A rich texture makes this a delightful sipper or stout component in a mezcal variant of the Last Word. Gold medal winner in Tequila Aficionado's 2021 Brands of Promise.

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.

YOLA Mezcal holds a perfect balance between authenticity and aesthetics. Created in collaboration between Yola Jiminez (of La Clandestina Mezcaleria fame), Lykke Li (Swedish songwriting sensation), and Gina Correll Aglietti (chef and stylist), YOLA counters the patriarchal system ubiquitous in Oaxaca. YOLA is run by women, bottled by women. We've seen time and again that no palenque succeeds without the contribution of strong women, and YOLA provides a place where the women of Oaxaca can have steady work. The result is absolutely delicious mezcal that wi...

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.

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...

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...

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...

The excellent newly arrived Bruxo Mezcal is one of the most luscious and approachable mezcal we've ever come across. Distilled from 100% espadin, this mezcal uses it's smokiness to frame and enhance the incredibly delicious fruit and floral aromas rather than smoother them. There's wonderful texture and richness even at 80 proof and quality of the spirit itself is what really stands out. Of course, the mysterious origin and name of this product also add to its mystique. The Bruxo, meaning wizard in Spanish, should be respected and if you're not careful i...

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...

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.

It all began at John Rexer's Bohemian artist refuge, Café No Se, in Antigua, Guatemala. Opened in 2003, Café No Se became the heart of a thriving expat and artisan community of Antigua. As John's business grew, his interest in Mezcal led him to "import" the mystical spirit in very "creative" ways. His customers took to the spirit and to satisfy the growing demand, he was forced to access less seemly trade routes, hence the name "Illegal." Needless to say John has gone legit, but his nose for quality has not changed. I often don't care for oak-aged mezc...
