ENSAMBLE ESPECIAL 2021 Siete Misterios This ensamble is Siete Misterios’ special bottling featuring their Ensamble Especial. The Ensamble Especial is a special blend of four to five Magueys. This is a limited release with only one production a year. Traditionally mezcal was produced in pueblitos (small villages). Maestro mezcaleros would go out into the fields and select ripe agave, typically including multiple varietals in one production. Their Ensambles range is their tribute to those original mezcals. This release skilfully combines Maguey Espadín with Tepeztate, Tobala, Madrecuishe, and Mexicano to offer beautiful complexity in every sip.
