We really like when they use starter sap from a previous batch to complete fermentation, seems to add some great flavors. The resulting Blanco is easy to sip with a unique bittersweet creamy flavor profile of floral, grassy, herbal and mineral notes. Very well crafted.

We’re loving these releases from Don Goyo and his son Rodrigo. Delicious crisp notes of florals and herbs with layers of ripe fruit, hints of brine, marked earthiness and subdued smokiness. A delicious lasting finish. An outstanding Cuixe – lot 0322

A solid Mexicano destilado. produced in Miahuatlan, distilled in a copper still with refrescadera as is typical for the region, delivering ripe fruit notes with cooking spices, balanced heat and mild smokiness. Very enjoyable Destilado.

Masterfully created by Tío Tello, this agave distillate release from 5 sentidos shares ample tropical fruit, floral and citrus notes. Very well balanced.

Edition 3 and 4 were our favorites so far, each demonstrating the range of expression possible from Espadin in the hands of one of the top mezcaleros, maestro Valentin.

Very distinctive and unique, with heat followed by sour notes. Lasting finish of earth notes and wet stones.

Really enjoyed this release, one of the better Cirial releases available. Rich mouthfeel with umami flavors and distinct minerals.

Was thrilled to find this bottle in the US. Lot B1, bottle 61/150. We had discovered Revelador in Oaxaca at their mezcaleria from one our favorite mezcaleros Don Goyo and his son Rodrigo. This release is delicious with balanced citrus and floral notes paired with subtle smoke and mineral notes. This bottling is 47% ABV, perfect for sipping or in a cocktail. A real gem, congrats to the father and son duo. Looking forward to trying their other releases.

From Miahuatlan, 18- year old Jabali pinas are harvested, cooked and hand crushed with wooden mallets. Forward savory-sweet-peppery notes dominate along with brine and dark red fruits. Hard to make and hard to find, but well worth the effort.

Complex and elegant, this delicious handcrafted mezcal shared the essence of Durango with balanced notes of smoke, minerals, anise and rich fruit flavors. Kudos to Asis Cortes for this release.

Distilled from maguey Pacifica in the town of Aconchi, Sonora, is a great representation of a really well made Bacanora. Abundant fragrant notes of grass and mint with marked smokiness, balanced heat, and a delicious finish.

Aged for 2 years with rich bright flavors, a great introduction to Sotol. Tasty and easy to sip with rounded vegetal notes. Very well made.

Tasted the Ancestral Coyote, truly a gem with caramel, spice, mineral and red fruit flavors. Subtle smoke which is typical for Carlos Moreno’s Koch collection. 47 proof.

Solid Espadin for the price, opens with herbal and floral notes. Then lots of cirtus and orange notes, with tempered smoke. A solid cocktail option and easy sipper.

Really enjoyed tasting this release at Mezcaloteca. Forward sweetness and berry notes, with a medium finish.

Antonio Cortés Aragón’s wild maguey Madrecuishe opens with herbal and floral notes, followed by sweetness balanced with citrus peel, caramel, papaya, mineral notes, wet stone and pepper. Delicious
