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. Here at K&L we have found no other brand operating on this level. The transparency and commitment is incredible. 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...

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. 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...

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.

Chichicapa has a relatively light nose, yet is deep and sweet on the tongue with a very complex character. It has a long finish, with a distinct smokiness and hint of mint at the end. Chichicapa is about two hours south of Oaxaca, and another two hours to the west on a dirt road. The pueblo elevation is about 7,000 feet. Chichicapa is separated from the valley of Oaxaca by a mountain range. The valley is broad, about thirty miles deep and ten miles wide. The climate is desert and tropical, with banana trees, guava, mangoes, and other exotic fruits. Faust...

Wine Enthusiast: "This clear and light-bodied mezcal has a faintly smoky aroma and a mildly peppery flavor. A potent, alcoholic finish fades into black pepper. (KN)" (12/2010) K&L Notes: This entry level bottling called "Vida" allows for all of the purity and beauty that one extracts from Del Maguey's hand-crafted distillations at a more affordable price. The "Vida" is still produced 100% according to the 400-year-old local tradition of small-batch distillation and using nothing but the agave heart and water in the mezcal.

Los Vecinos Del Campo is the new mezcal project from Sazerac and Carmen Villareal of Casa San Matias. As with any upstart mezcal brand our first instinct is to tread with caution. There's alot of opportunity to get things wrong when bringing a new mezcal to market, but we're extremely happy to note that our friends from New Orleans avoided all of them. Instead, we get an incredible affordable authentic artesenal mezcal from the village of San Miguel Ejutla in Oaxaca's central valley. Carmen's connections to the area go way back and she was able to identi...

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...
