Their mission is to preserve the passion, traditions and culture of mezcal while stimulating the micro-economies of the rural communities that make it. This ensamble lets two agaves share the spotlight: fast-growing Espadín and wild Tepeztate, the cliff-dwelling maguey that can spend decades maturing before harvest. The agave is roasted in an earthen oven and distilled in a copper alembic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplex, lightly smoky and mineral, it pairs the sweet, round character of Espadín with the crisp vegetal and mineral notes of Tepeztate, with bold herbal notes and a smooth, smoky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skull-and-sombrero label makes it a collectible gift for mezcal lovers.\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\u003eEspadín:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and round.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTepeztate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crisp, vegetal, mineral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbal, smooth smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Los Siete Misterios, founded 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joven ensamble mezcal, 2021 batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espadín and wild Tepeztate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper alembic\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 San Dionisio, 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 at room temperature in a copita, with orange slices on the side.
