Description

San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca, is the setting for this handcrafted Espadín mezcal from Koch El Mezcal. The producer describes its work through four principles: Land, Worldview, Biodiversity and Humanity. That approach includes a commitment to mezcal-making communities, their families and the environment. The mezcal is bottled at 47% ABV.

Agave aromas arrive with a trace of smoke. The palate begins smoothly, with a little sweetness, before earthy and herbal notes emerge. Roasted agave, green pepper and citrus add definition. Smoke and pepper carry into the finish, accompanied by a warm sensation that lingers. The sequence moves from sweet agave toward a more herbal, smoky close.

Pour neat into a copita or traditional mezcal glass. Sip slowly and allow the glass to warm in your hand as you return to the aromas.
