Mezcalum Artesanal Mezcal
750ml & 88 Proof
What is Mezcalum Artesanal Mezcal?
Mezcalum blends Espadin and rare wild Cuishe agave, crafted using ancestral methods passed down for generations in Oaxaca. Interestingly, the Cuishe agave used takes 6-12 years to mature and grows only in specific arid regions at altitudes of 750-2,000 meters, making it a prized ingredient in this artisanal spirit.
Why do we love Mezcalum Artesanal Mezcal?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Mezcalum Artesanal Mezcal for its unique blend of Espadin and rare Cuishe agave, crafted using traditional methods by Maestro Mezcalero Carlos Méndez Blas in Santiago de Matatlán, Oaxaca, resulting in a spirit that's not only zero-carb, zero-sugar, and additive-free, but also embodies the rich heritage of Mexican mezcal production.
How do you drink Mezcalum Artesanal Mezcal?
Mezcalum Artesanal Mezcal shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube to appreciate its complex flavors, but it also adds depth to smoky variations of classic cocktails; enjoy it year-round, particularly on warm evenings, paired with grilled meats, rich moles, or spicy seafood dishes to complement its earthy, slightly sweet profile.
Nose: Bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit mingle with earthy agave. Hints of green herbs, white pepper, and a subtle smokiness emerge.
Palate: Smooth entry with a light oiliness. The agave's natural sweetness shines through, balanced by citrus zest and mineral notes. A gentle smokiness builds, reminiscent of roasted vegetables. Subtle floral notes and a touch of vanilla add complexity.
Finish: Medium-long finish with lingering smoke and pepper. The citrus notes fade, leaving a pleasant warmth and a slight vegetal bitterness. A clean, crisp minerality persists, inviting another sip.
Mezcalum Artesanal Mezcal is crafted using traditional methods, with the agave hearts roasted in underground pits, crushed by a stone wheel, and fermented in wooden vats before being double-distilled in clay pot stills, resulting in a rich, smoky flavor that captures the essence of Oaxacan mezcal-making traditions.
