About this mezcal
Agua Mgica Ensamble is produced in San Juan del Ro, Oaxaca by fifth generation mezcalero Rogelio Juan Hernandez. This ensamble utilized Maguey Espadin (Agave angustifolia) and Maguey Tobal (Agave potatorum) that is carefully handpicked by the mezcalero. The plants are cooked in a traditional earthen oven for 24 hours and left to rest for 1-2 days before they are crushed by a horse-drawn tahona. Next, the crushed maguey is fermented naturally in wooden vats for 7-8 days along with freshwater from the region. Finally, it is double distilled in copper.

According to the brand, this mezcal hasdistinct flavor notes of minerals, tropical fruits, almonds, and herbal undertones create a complex and layered experience.
