The blend is 90% maguey Espadín with 5% each of maguey Barril and Madrecuishe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing locally grown, hand-harvested agave, the hearts slow roast underground for days to build a sultry, smoky sweetness. The piñas are crushed with a stone molino, naturally fermented in wooden vats and double distilled in a copper pot still. The bouquet shows chamomile, dill pickle and roasted agave, with tasting notes of black pepper, honey and soy sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colorful woven-pattern label makes it a vibrant 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\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 Chamomile, dill pickle and roasted agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black pepper, honey and soy sauce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Los Vecinos del Campo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 mezcalero families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90% Espadín, 5% Barril, 5% Madrecuishe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthen pit roast, stone molino, wooden vats, double copper pot\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 Valles Centrales, 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 and sal de gusano, or mix a mezcal Negroni or Paloma.
