Oaxaca Sampler Pack

Oaxaca Sampler: Mezcal Mexicano + Mezcal Ensamble

No two batches of mezcal are ever quite the same. The agave decides that: wild varietals that take a decade or more to mature, cooked in earth by mezcaleros who inherited the process from their fathers, in villages where the recipe never left the family. Terroir and agave selection is what makes the spirit so exceptional.

This sampler holds two expressions of that same Oaxacan soil and fire, made the same way, telling two different stories.

Every bottle starts identically: agave slow cooked in a river-rock-lined pit oven, milled by tahona, fermented naturally in pine wood tubs, double distilled in alembic copper stills. No shortcuts. No additives. 

From there, the two expressions diverge.

Mezcal Mexicano is single varietal, rare agave Rodacantha (called Mexicano) matured 10 years before harvest. Bright and herbal, with low smoke that gives way to lemon peel, stone fruit, and a mineral thread running through every sip. Complex. Contemplative. A mezcal that rewards slowing down.

Mezcal Ensamble is a blend, Espadín's structure is fused with Tobalá, the king of agaves. Apricot and citrus notes up front, an earthy campfire finish underneath. More immediate. More versatile. Sip it neat or build a spirit forward cocktail around it.

Side by side, they make the case for what Oaxaca does best: one agave or many, the same hands and the same fire, entirely different results. Taste them together and you taste the range.
