La Medida Mexicano is produced by famed maestra mezcalera Berta Vasquez in San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca.
About this mezcal
La Medida Mexicano from Berta Vasquez is produced in San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca. Berta uses wild maguey Mexicano (Agave rhodacantha), which typically take between 8-14 years to mature. The agaves are roasted in an underground pit oven, milled by horse-drawn tahona, fermented in cypress vats, and double distilled in copper.

Nose – A little fresh, but damp and a bit dirty and musty; celery, produce-section vibes, grass, fresh dirt, and the slightest eek of some sweetness in some faint piña colada.
Palate – Boom! Always a punchy opening! Very tropical and vibrant; pineapple, ripe oranges, passion fruit, mangoes, with some sweet funk like sugar cane and raw honey.
Finish – Funky, hot and long; banana, ginger, licorice, and tangy spices like cinnamon and anise… and a grassy burp on the backend.
Love this! One of my favorite bottles to have ever sampled in my lifetime. There is a funky sweetness I can’t quite put my finger on but it is absolutely compelling! This put La Medida on the map for me.
