Catedral Mezcal
Catedral Mezcal has pledged a portion of the stock in the US brand to a nonprofit in Mexico entitled “Catedral de mi Padre Community Support Organization.” The mandate of the fund is for the betterment of the families making Catedral Mezcal in Oaxaca. The process has been structured so that the maestro mezcaleros receive equity based on their individual contributions of mezcal to the brand.

41 reviewsNose – Lactic, cheese, leather wallet and overripe melon.
Palette – Sweet and creamy lactic notes, smooth with hints of coconut/melon and somewhat hot, pepper finish. Taste lingers for a little bit.
Catedral has a really smooth lactic Espadin which I taste in the forefront but the finish is very much Mexicano. No bottle information as I got a few ounces from a rep, but out of their whole lineup – this one is it. Interesting packaging concept as well!
4.25/5 stars
