Casamigos Mezcal
Produced in Oaxaca by a 4th generation family of Mezcaleros. Casamigos Mezcal is made using the traditional method. Once harvested, the pinas are split and laid to cook for 4-6 days in 6 ton earthen pits lined with volcanic rock. Depending on the season Casamigos Mezcal ferments for 2-8 days before being distilled in covered copper pot stills. Casamigos is twice distilled. A fragrant herbal and fruit nose with hints of smoke. The palate shows notes of smoke and black pepper which lead to a long and silky finish.
La Venenosa Raicilla Costa
This Raicilla Costa has aromas of gravel, rubber inner tubes and old wood smoke, unusual and very like a Mezcal. The palate is sweeter than the aroma and has notes of pepper spice with orchard fruit. The finish is rather herbal with a hint of menthol. This Raicilla is produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Alberto Hernández in the village of Llano Grande of the coastal region Cabo Corrientes, 700 metres above sea level. Don Alberto cultivates a mix of agaves: Rhodecantha and Angustifolia. Rhodecantha matures after 12 years and Angustifolia after eight. The agave is roasted in a wood fired adobe oven. It is distilled two times in a Philippino still made out of copper and a hollowed out tree trunk.
