We are excited to share this first release of Mexicano and find it to be a delicate, balanced mezcal that is best sipped. In our experience the mezcales from Agave Rhodacantha are special,delicate distillates. Although this particular agave carries many names throughout Oaxaca, the mezcales made from this species have a signature flavor across regions that often have beautiful vanilla, floral and chocolate notes with a thick texture.

Notes
In our experience the mezcales from Agave Rhodacanta are special, delicate distillates. It is similar in shape to the Espadin and typically smaller in size. This type of agave can reach maturity in fewer than 10 years but is known to sprout a quiote around 12 years. Although this particular agave carries many names throughout Oaxaca, the mezcales made from this species have a similar flavor across regions that often have beautiful vanilla, floral and chocolate notes. Often the Mexicano has an oily and thick texture.
