Nosotros Mexicano Mezcal
Rare by nature and extraordinary by craft, Nosotros Mexicano Mezcal is a tribute to one of the most elusive agave varietals in all of Mexico. Produced in the storied hills of the Sierra Sur in Miahuatlan de Porfirio Diaz, this expression from Mezcalero Octavio Jarquin is a true connoisseur's discovery.
Agave Mexicano is a rarer and lesser-known cousin of Espadin, and the plants used here have matured for a full decade before harvest, developing layers of complexity seldom found in mass-produced mezcal. The traditional production process honors the spirit of the Oaxacan heartland: agaves are cooked underground in a river rock-lined concave pit oven fueled by oak wood, tahona crushed, fermented in open pine wood tubs, and double distilled in alembic copper stills. Every step reflects the living culture of mezcal craft.
- Nose: Earthy smoke, ripe agave, and subtle floral notes with hints of dried fruit and mineral depth.
- Palate: Rich and nuanced, with roasted agave, oak, dark chocolate, and a whisper of tropical sweetness.
- Finish: Long and balanced, with lingering smoke, dried herbs, and a clean mineral fade.
Nosotros Mexicano Mezcal is exceptional sipped neat, but it also lends remarkable complexity to a Mezcal Negroni or an Oaxacan Old Fashioned, where its earthy depth and smoke elevate every ingredient in the glass.
Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to open up the aromatics. A true expression of Sierra Sur terroir, crafted from rare 10-year Agave Mexicano in Miahuatlan de Porfirio Diaz, Oaxaca.
