Artisanal Mezcal is the most common category of mezcal produced, representing 87% of the total mezcal production.
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. They have skilfully combined maguey Espadín with Tobalá to offer beautiful complexity in every sip.

Tasting Notes
Lemon and mint with accents of cucumber, celery, and green grape. These bright aromas are balanced by a slight smokiness, cream, and guava. Bright citrus and herbal notes are grounded by a buttery mouthfeel. Hints of chamomile and star fruit give way to a long finish featuring cucumber and mint.
