Montelobos Mezcal • Espadin

Born from centuries of mezcalero craft and enlightened by the methodical pursuit of perfection montelobos espadin is an unaged joven mezcal crafted from meticulously cultivated 100% sustainably grown organic agave espadin. An underground pit is filled with volcanic stone which is heated using 2 different woods which roasts the agave for 5 days. It is milled under the weight of a traditional single cantera stone tahona and then wild fermented in open-air pine vats for up to 7 days. Following the artisanal method with firewood heating copper stills the mezcal is small batch twice distilled to achieve a perfect balance of sweetness and subtle smoke. This artisanally produced joven mezcal is strikingly balanced and complex with a bold integration between all the notes that mezcal has to offer. Montelobos espadin is an experience unto itself. Montelobos espadin is sweet on the palate with a perfect balance between green and cooked agave that slowly develops into dried fruit notes.
