The bouquet is immediately authentic and nuanced. Ripe agave leads the scent. Honey and caramel lay softly over it. Delicate citrus zest adds freshness. A touch of white pepper provides a kick. Fine smoke frames the aromas and remains elegant. Vanilla, roasted nuts and a drop of cocoa round it out. A hint of sea salt and herbs give depth and balance.

On the palate the mezcal appears silky yet tactile. The texture is soft, with good structure. Sweet tones of honey and caramel glide over clear agave. Lime and grapefruit give drive.

Caramel, honey and cocoa remain, together with a pure agave note. The balance invites the next sip.

Production of Mezcal Artesanal by Destilería Tradición

The base is ripe agave from selected sites. The maestro mezcalero watches for ripeness and sugar. Many batches use Espadín, as the agave shows a clear agave heart. Only the best heart of the agave goes into the oven.

Tradition shapes every step. The piñas roast slowly in earth ovens with wood and stone. This embers give depth and the noble smoky trace. Afterwards the hearts are crushed with the tahona or gently mechanically ground. The must ferments openly in wood or stone. Wild yeasts from the palenque start the fermentation. This way the mezcal shows its terroir.

Distillation is carried out carefully in small copper stills. The distiller precisely separates heads and tails. Only the fine heart remains. A second distillation sharpens clarity and purity. For bottling the spirit is adjusted with spring water to 40.0% ABV. The mezcal rests briefly so the aromas can integrate.
