About this mezcal
Cómplice de Amor is a reposado mezcal produced using 100% agave Espadin by Mezcalero Ignacio Martínez in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. After the agaves reach maturity after 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 reposado mezcal is rested for 6 months in White American Oak. This mezcal has a soft texture that covers the palate with a smooth but robust intensity.
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.

641 reviewsVery sweet and honeyed. There is a note of spicy molasses. Bourbon drinkers or non spirit sippers might like this one. I’m sure it makes a nice mixer. Lot EXR003 from 2018. Ignacio Martinez.

705 reviewsLot EXR003. From Ignacio Martínez from 2018. Very sweet aromas with hints of sour apples and caramel. Flavors are typical of reposados: vanilla, caramel, candied wood, and brown sugar. Tasty.
