Description
Introducing El Mero Mero Espadn, a premium mezcal made with agave Espadin in San Dionisio Ocotopec, Oaxaca. This region is known for its very little rainfall, which keeps the agave plants growing low to the ground, similar to grapes. This stresses the plants and forces them to create more sugar, creating a unique and flavorful mezcal.
The agave used in this mezcal is tahona crushed, fermented in Encino Oak tubs, and double distilled in copper, resulting in a smooth and refined taste. The proofing process of this spirit uses no water, only the heads, and tails of the distillate, ensuring the highest quality and purity.
El Mero Mero Espadin has notes of herbal smoke, wood resin, earthy minerals, and a hint of peppery spice, creating a complex and balanced flavor profile. A typical batch of this mezcal is around 500-800 bottles, making it a rare and exclusive find.
El Mero Mero is a brand deeply committed to quality and sustainability. Mezcalero Justino Garcia Cruz oversees all production, and the brand’s bottle label is designed by Carlos Zerpa, one of the most important Latin American contemporary artists. The surrounding mezcaleros are also starting to cultivate agave Tobala and Tepextate, promoting more sustainable production practices.
