Master mezcalero Edgar Martínez Juárez, a fifth-generation maker, handpicks and harvests the agave hearts at their prime. The two agaves are cooked underground and fermented together, then double distilled in small batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEspadín provides the consistent, smoky backbone of the flavor profile, while Tobalá adds a fresh citrus zest and a light, sweet character that lets the earthy, grassy notes come through. The result is a traditional mezcal with a fresh aroma and sweet taste, aromatic and approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bold skull label makes it a standout gift for basketball and mezcal fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, with citrus zest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light sweetness, earthy and grassy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackbone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle Espadín smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anillos Mezcal (Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMezcalero:\u003c\/strong\u003e Edgar Martínez Juárez, 5th generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espadín and wild Tobalá\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal artesanal, double distilled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 proof (44% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat with orange slices, or mix a mezcal Margarita or Paloma.
