Mal Bien Alto Isidro Rodriguez Mezcal
Product Description: This exceptional mezcal is crafted by Don Isidro Rodriguez Montoya in Ro de Parras, Michoacn, from the “Alto” agave, scientifically known as Agave inaequidens. Don Isidro’s approach to mezcal production sets it apart. He emphasizes clean, mineral-driven flavors over the traditionally funky lactic profiles often associated with Michoacn mezcals. He achieves this through relatively short fermentations, enhanced by the addition of pulque. This results in a bright and refreshing spirit that highlights the pure essence of the agave.
