San Bartolo "Quiegolani" Mezcal Espadin (1L)

100% Agave angustifolia from the Santa Maria Quiegolani village in southern Oaxaca. Distilled by 5th generation Maestro Mezcallero, Enrique Diaz Cruz, this is an artisanal Mezcal, made using traditional underground ovens, horse-drawn tahona press, wooden fermenters with native yeasts, and small copper pot stills. The style in the Southern regions offers a slightly less mesquite-forward character than some of the villages in Tlacolula to the north. This is a perfect welcome into the Mezcal world, well-balanced, bright and flavorful with slightly smoky herbal notes.
