About this mezcal

Mezcal Cómplice Espadin Orígenes  is produced using 100% Agave angustifolia (Maguey Espadín) by Mezcalero Humberto Hernández in San Juan del Río, Tlacolula, Oaxaca. After the agaves reach maturity after approximately 8-10 years, they are harvested and cooked in a river-stone pit oven. The cooked agaves are crushed by a horse-drawn tahona. After fermenting in oak wood vats, it is double distilled in copper stills. This origins release was born as a welcome door for the entire range of Mezcal Cómplice mezcals. It is a spirit with a lower alcohol content (38%) for those who are not familiar with the strength of mezcal. This mezcal has notes of citrus, soft fruits, and light smoke.

Cómplice Mezcal

The name of Cómplice Mezcal comes from a story. One night, a man learned of the existence of a legendary mezcalero who had the gift of capturing the essence of a person in the drops of mezcal. The man was determined to find the master. After a long period of searching, he finally found the legendary teacher. After talking for a long time, the master agreed to reveal his secrets, giving rise to a mutual complicity: whenever any of the descendants of the man found the teacher, he would teach him to capture the essence of a person in a mezcal in exchange for keeping the secret within the family. This is how, generation after generation, members of the family have maintained the unique flavor and secret of the mezcal: Cómplice Mezcal.
