He provided for his wife and six children with his two passions, music and mezcal, which gave the brand its name, and today his sons Diego, the maestro mezcalero, and Edgar carry on the tradition in small batches. The countryside behind the village is a forested mountain full of natural springs, where the family cultivates its Espadín and harvests it after seven to eight years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe agave is roasted in an in-ground, stone-lined pit, crushed by tahona and fermented in the open air in wooden vats, then distilled artisanally. Santa María's mineral-rich soil and natural spring water give the mezcal its character: it smells of papaya, leather and roasted fruit, and the palate is lively, with grapefruit skin and black pepper on a long, energetic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent for elevated cocktails or sipping, it makes a fine gift.\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\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Papaya, leather and roasted fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lively, with grapefruit skin and black pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and energetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dos Pasiones (Martínez family)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Artesanal, Joven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cultivated Espadín, 7-8 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone-lined pit, tahona, open-air wooden fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 proof (45% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa María Albarradas, 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 from a copita, or use it in an elevated mezcal cocktail.
