Approximately 600kg of mango
criollo were used to make this small
batch of mezcal.
Our Mango Mezcal is made by adding in ripe mangos to the third distillation of Espadin, much like the style of Pechuga mezcal only without a protein. The sugars from the mango do not transform into alcohol but do enrich the taste and aroma with some caramelization during the 3rd distillation.

Notes
This mango expression is made by adding peeled ripe mangos to the third distillation of our Espadin, much like the style of Pechuga mezcal, only without the protein. The additional sugar content from the mangos results in a higher proof spirit in the third distillation and pushes a fuller flavor.
Other Information
The nose smells of ripe mango followed by green pepper notes. The smooth distillate is reminiscent of a Pechuga style mezcal with pronounced fruit flavors and a noticeable cooked agave finish.
