Sombra, Mezcal Joven, Oaxaca, Mexico 1L

An artisanal Espadín agave mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, México.

Spicy, fruity with notes of citrus and a hint of smoke. Smooth and warming to the palate, with a clean and fruit-driven finish.

Sombra Mezcal is made from Espadín agave, hand-harvested on the steep slopes of the Oaxacan Sierra. The agave hearts are buried in an earthen pit where they slowly roast over hot rocks. The agave are then crushed by a mechanical limestone tahona, fermented with only native yeast, and expertly distilled.
