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.

This exceptional Mezcal from the far flung Yaupetec sub-region of southwestern Oaxaca has one of the Mezcal world's most endearing stories.

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...

Rezpiral is perhaps the most ambitious Mezcal related project in existence. It is truly an holistic approach to the spirit of agave, the community, the land, and the people who make it possible.

The profit sharing (30% last year) that goes directly back to the producers (with no strings attached, so it can be used in the best way possible by those who receive it) is unrivaled. Rezpiral is making an enormous difference in the lives of those who...

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.

Originating from the town of Candelaria Yegolé in the Zoquitlan region of Oaxaca, this is one of the rarer Silvestre agaves and the first Jabali we ever stocked at K&L. The flavor of the Agave recalls an ultra pungent Tobala with tons of tropical fruit and citrus moving toward the floral and perfume-y flavors. That said there's also plenty earthy gravel and white pepper. Richly textured and ultra dense, the smoke is the perfect frame to the wild flavors of this special plant. Mineral and spice build on the finish leaving you with a long lingering finish.
