Oaxaca
El Jolgorio Todos Santos Arroqueño Mezcal
Grapefruit opens the aroma with a vivid citrus lift, followed by eucalyptus and delicate floral notes. The palate is concentrated yet finely drawn, moving from juicy citrus into cool herbs, earthy agave and a controlled ribbon of smoke. A firm mineral structure keeps the profile dry and precise, while the finish lingers with floral smoke and fresh grapefruit peel. Serve neat in a copita and give it a few minutes to open.
El Jolgorio Sierrudo Mezcal
Cooked agave and fresh grass lead the aroma, with dark cacao, lime peel and a fine thread of white smoke adding depth. The palate is savoury and composed, bringing white pepper and cardamom into an earthy mineral frame. Bright citrus keeps the richness in balance, while measured smoke and gentle spice carry through a long, dry finish. Serve neat in a copita and allow the aromatics time to unfold.
El Jolgorio Coyote Ancestral Mezcal
Roasted agave and warm clay lead the aroma, followed by fresh lime, salt, pepper and a restrained leather note. The palate is earthy and precise, combining bright citrus with savoury mineral depth and measured smoke. Richness builds without obscuring the agave, and the finish remains dry, structured and persistent. Serve neat in a copita and allow a few minutes for the aromatics to open.
Alma Tepec Licor de Chile Pasilla Mixe
Layered dried fruit brings raisin, cranberry, cherry, tamarind, blackberry and plum, followed by cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and clove. Natural cane sweetness rounds the spice without flattening the chile's character, while smoke and a light, lingering heat carry the finish. Sip over ice after dinner, or use a small measure to deepen mezcal, tequila, rum or dark-fruit cocktails. Especially good with dark chocolate, roasted nuts or mole-spiced dishes.
Banhez Espadín & Barril Ensamble Mezcal
Floral and gently fruity aromas lead into pineapple, banana and ripe agave. The palate is approachable but not simple, with baked agave, lime peel and soft tropical fruit held by a lightly smoky, mineral frame. Cinnamon and black pepper add quiet spice, while a faint nutty note brings depth. The finish is clean and balanced, leaving fruit, smoke and warm agave in equal measure.
400 Conejos Espadín Joven Mezcal
Herbal smoke leads the aroma, with fennel seed, sourdough and roasted corn adding savoury depth. The palate is smooth and vivid, moving through grilled corn, melted butter, smoked herbs and sweet asparagus. Agave sweetness keeps the profile rounded while smoke gives it structure rather than weight. The finish is warm and persistent, leaving roasted grain, herbs and a measured earthy note.
