Gracias a Dios Mezcal
The team behind Gracias a Dios Mezcal opened a mezcalería in Querétaro, México in 2010. After two years of touring around Mexico in search of mezcal, they met mezcalero Oscar Hernández and were impressed by his mezcal. They decided to create a brand with Oscar and make him an equal partner. Oscar learned how to distill from his mother whose nickname is “La Jefa”.
Aside from a few special releases, Gracias a Dios is made in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. It is 100% artisanal, handmade with piñas from Espadín agave and other varieties, ground and fermented in their own palenque in Santiago Matatlán, and distilled in copper by maestro mezcalero Oscar Hernández Santiago. Their Karwinskii agaves are shredded mechanically, due to the toughness of their fibers, and then tahona-crushed afterwards. All other agave used at this palenque are crushed by horse-drawn tahona only.

Nose – Agave forward but very confectionary and sweet; baking spice, caramel, fresh bread, cookie dough, fruity melons, and some gasoline to tickle your nose a bit.
Palate – Warm, sweet sips that remind me of baked goods and dessert; sugar cookies, sweet nuts, like macadamia, some brown sugar, vanilla, and honey.
Finish – The cookies continues; butterscotch, dulce de leche. And some ripe fruit; bananas, cherries, fuji apple.
A simple, sweetish, and very mellow spirit. Great for evening sips, and stellar in cocktails. Predictable, but perfect for when you need to take a break from the complexities of authentic Mezcal. I enjoyed this.

643 reviewsA good mixer and a okay sipper. This mezcal has notes of honey, copper, smoke, orange peel, and butter. I like using this as a mixer because at 45% ABV the flavors don’t get “muddled” down in a cocktail. It’s good for spirit-forward cocktails like an old fashioned. Don’t see a batch number on the bottle but it has a real cork whereas the newer bottles have with a plastic top cork. For a few bucks more I’d recommend this over the espadin because the reposado aging masks some of the chemical notes found in Gracias a Dios mezcals.
