AGAVE MEZCAL

MEZCALITA OF SALOMUNDO INGREDIENTS 2 oz of Alerón 1 oz of Agave Syrup 1 oz lemon juice 1 sliced ​fresno chili

ALERON MEXICO, DURANGO From an idea among friends, Alerón has become much more. Enjoy this light and delicious mezcal with friends, family or even alone. As we say in Mexico: ¡Para todo mal, mezcal; para todo bien, también! Which translates to something like; For the bad days; mezcal, and for all the good days; mezcal too! Aleron Mezcal Cenizo 80PF / 750ML Artisanal Mezcal 100% Agave Cenizo from the state of Durango. Made from Cenizo agave (12 -14 years old), Mezcal Alerón uses traditional techniques that maintaain the true aromas and flavors of our agave. Developed by our mezcalero master Arturo Conde, a 3rd generation mezcalero master. Sweet and floral notes stand out, accompanied by a light and elegant smoke. A smooth mezcal to enjoy on any occasion. DON AMADO MEXICO, SANTA CATARINA MINAS In the highlands of southern Mexico, the renowned Arellanes family has been crafting one of the regions most celebrated mezcals since the late 1700’s. Eleven generations of continual mezcal distillation with a legendary commitment to craftsmanship and experimentation have culminated in a spirit that is simultaneously complex and approachable. Don Amado is made from earthen-roasted agave hearts which are,

Don Amado Mezcal Pechuga *Vegan* 92PF / 375ML / 750ML

Don Amado Pechuga is not a traditional Pechuga as no meat is used in the production. Instead, this vegan Pechuga is made with a variety of fruit and spices. An autumn ‘harvest bounty’ mezcal, Don Amado Pechuga is a third distillation of our Don Amado Rústico, made with the addition of seasonal fruits, nuts and spices including apricots, wild criollo apples, hard, stubby bananas with clove, cinnamon, raisins, almonds, and walnuts. A treasure of complexity that exhibits rich, bright fruit notes, roasted nuts, dark baking spice, wafting hints of clean smoke, fresh cinnamon, and stone fruits. Don Amado Mezcal Tepeztate 92PF / 375ML / 750ML On the nose, there is candied lime, soft white flowers, with more vegetal notes of bell pepper and cucumber skin along with hints of nuts, soft pastry, and a very lightly charred wood, supported by a back note of minerality. The flavors continue in the same vein, tasting of grilled lemon & lime, sunbaked white flowers, bell peppers, persimmon, squash blossoms, charred oak, and minerals. These flavors are intricately balanced and deliciously perplexing, hinting at matcha tea and persist in a delicate fade that savors grilled fruit nuances. Don Amado Mezcal Rustico 94PF / 375ML / 750ML Mineral clay influence is quite prevalent with aromatics of ash, crushed walnuts, roasted corn, and spices. Citrusy Espadin agave palate is well balanced against notes of caramel, butterscotch and herbs. Don Amado Mezcal Reposado 90PF / 375ML / 750ML Familiar Mexican aromas and tastes: roasted buttered corn, hints of cinnamon, tropical fruit, and dried chilies with a moderate amount of smoke. Barrel-aging contributes spicier, more vanilla-driven notes. Don Amado Mezcal Añejo 87PF / 375ML / 750ML A regal take on what many consider a rustic product. Savory, mesquite aromas hint at a backyard BBQ and cayenne pepper. These flavors flow between layers of baked stone fruit from the brandy barrels. Notes of grilled pineapple and finish with bright saline minerality.

after crushing, fermented together with their pina fibers for a rich agave character. The mash is then double distilled in small traditional ceramic clay pots. Aged varieties are matured in American oak casks previously used for barreling Domecq brandy. Don Amado Ensamble Tobala-Bicuishe 92PF / 375ML / 750ML This ensamble is like the bass section of the orchestra. It opens with a rumbling timpani then bursts of mineral highlights. In the background there are always these brooding flavors from the woody Bicuishe which are subsumed in the sweet minerality of the Tobala. Don Amado Ensamble Tripon 92PF / 375ML / 750ML It’s like Dorothy’s shoes in the Wizard of Oz,

sparkling goodness that fills your mouth and resolves into a true ensemble of flavor. It’s hard to pull the agaves apart because this is one unfettered whole, a real union of thought and action. And it leaves your mouth feeling like the antitheses of those toothpaste ads – sparkling, fresh, full of flavor! Don Amado Mezcal Arroqueno 92PF / 375ML / 750ML Rustic, refined, revealing floral aromatics with caramelized agave, leather and soft smoke notes lending structure to cooked yam flavors. Mouthfeel delivers quince, persimmon, lemon verbena and kaffir, with layers of

chocolate, espresso and spice. Don Amado Mezcal Largo 92PF / 375ML / 750ML

Soft smoke with candied notes and a creamy mouthfeel layer fruit and a subtle spice on a palette of rich, cooked agave… reminiscent of the high desert just after a heavy rainfall, bright and clean.

AGAVE MEZCAL

Don Mateo de la Sierra Mezcal Alto 92PF / 750ML

DON MATEO DE LA SIERRA MEXICO, MICHOACAN In 1840, the Vieyra family began their journey as maestro mezcaleros, and in 6 generations, mezcal in Michoacan is what they are known for. The brand is not named after the first maestro, but the 3rd, Emilio’s great, great grandfather Mateo Rangel. The Vieyra family chose Don Mateo because he had fought and died for social causes during the Mexican Prohibition. In remembrance of him, the Vieyra family continues to fight for these causes and change the industry the only way they can, through their actions. The Vieyra family uses sustainable field practices, like using cows and chickens as herbicides and pesticides and leaving the land as untouched as possible. Trees from their property are never cut or moved and the agaves are spaciously planted to avoid soil erosion in efforts to maintain a natural balance to the fields. The terroir of Michoacan is characterized by its rivers; the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt with many active, dormant and extinct volcanoes; and the variety of forests from conifer to tropical. The Vieyra Vinata is nestled on the side of a hill in the steep highlands above Morelia in the Rio Balsas region surrounded by temperate evergreen forest. Don Mateo Cupreata 92PF / 750ML Don Mateo Cupreata is made with semi-wild agave Cupreata. Agave Cupreata was nearly gone from Michoacán until the Vieyra family revived the subspecies in their own back yard. It can only reproduce sexually and is a pillar of agave biodiversity. The terroir of Michoacán is characterized by its rivers; the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt with many active, dormant and extinct volcanoes; and the variety of forests from conifer to tropical. Once mature, the agave Cupreata are roasted in a pit oven, fermented using naturally occurring yeasts in oak wood tanks, and double distilled in a Filipino-style still. The distillation in local pine wood rounds off the smokiness from the earthen pit; a mezcal to be appreciated by aficionados and newcomers alike. Semi-wild Agave Cupreata | Stone Pit Oven for Roasting | Natural Fermentation in Pine Wood Tanks | Pine and Oyamel Filipino Style Alambique | Heads and Tails for Alcohol Adjustments | Natural Spring Water for Alcohol Adjustments.

The name of this semi-wild agave is Inaequidens, but locally they call it Alto – due to the fact that it only grows at very high elevations.

The plant can take about 12-15 years to mature. Don Mateo de la Sierra Mezcal Pechuga 90PF / 750ML

This recipe is extremely rare, being a Pechuga based on Cenizo instead of Espadin. The recipe comes from Don Emilio’s wife, Dona Maria. She mixes a proprietary blend of fruits and spices, and the animals used are iguana, turkey and venison. Don Mateo de la Sierra Mezcal Silvestre 100PF / 750ML Don Mateo Silvestre is a unique expression based solely on the agave. This mezcal is produced using only wild agave Cupreata plants on the mountainsides of El Limon, where they thrive with the help of cows and chickens, herbicide and pesticide free. Wild Cupreata Agave | Stone pit oven roasting | Oak wood fermentation | Pine and Oyamel Filipino Style Alambique | Heads and Tails for Alcohol Adjustments | Natural Spring Water for Alcohol Adjustments | 1 year rested in glass. Don Mateo Manso de Sahuayo 96PF / 750ML This artisanal mezcal is characterized by its borderlands terroir: part mezcal country, part tequila country, part freshwater lake, all Mexico. The agave is sourced from small farmers in the town of Sahuayo, near Michoacán’s border with Jalisco. Agave Americana var. Manso de Sahuayo (formerly known as Cenizo) | Stone Pit Oven Roasting | Fermentation in Wooden Tank | Pine and Oyamel Filipino Style Alambique | Heads and Tails for Alcohol Adjustments | Natural Spring Water for Alcohol Adjustments.

El Buho Mezcal Capón Espadin 94PF / 750ML

EL BUHO MEZCAL MEXICO, SANTIAGO MATATLAN The El Buho mezcal brand, founded in 2010 by Brooklyn-based chef TJ Steele, has been exclusively produced by the Jimenez Mendez family, 5th generation mezcaleros, in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca, Mexico. El Buho Mezcal Agave Mexicano 94PF / 750ML We find this first release of Mexicano, from Agave Rhodacantha, to be a delicate, balanced mezcal that is best sipped. Although this agave carries many names throughout Oaxaca, the mezcales made from this species have a signature flavor across regions that often have beautiful vanilla, floral and chocolate notes with a thick texture. El Buho Mezcal Añejo 94PF / 750ML We are excited to share our certified six-year Extra Extra Añejo mezcal with you. We find this to be unique, delicious, and balanced. Vibrant tasting notes include butterscotch, agave, roasted pineapple, vanilla, and oak with many nuances underneath. El Buho Mezcal Arroqueno 106PF / 750ML

This special batch of mezcal is made exclusively from Espadín agave planted 10 years ago by the Jimenez Mendez family in their field (hornos), in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. After nine years the agave sprouted quiotes, which were cut, and left in the field for one year before harvesting. The resulting mezcal is a coveted, family treasure called “PURO CAPÓN.” El Buho Mezcal Cuishe 96PF / 750ML Cuishe agave matures for about 12 years, then the agaves are cooked for 4 days with the trunk of the plant, fermented for 6 days and twice distilled in copper stills. El Buho Mezcal Ensamble 100PF / 750ML This Ensamble is crafted from four agave plants; the Arroqueno, the Coyote, the Barril, and the Cuishe. The banana nose is balanced out by a dry, fatty mouth feel. El Buho Mezcal Espadin 90PF / 750ML / 1.0L 100% Espadin agave harvested at maturity from sustainable and bat-friendly fields. The hand-cut agaves are slowly roasted in a stone pit fire fueled by local oak. The mash is crushed by a horse-powered tahona stone mill and fermented for 3-5 days. After two distillations the mezcal is rested in stainless steel for six months. Best in Category 2017 Spirits of Mexico El Buho Mezcal Jabali 102PF/ 750ML The Jabali agave is notorious for being the most difficult agave to work with due to the foam it produces and the lower sugar content. This agave is named after the wild boar because of its spiky, curved leaf resemblance to the animal. El Buho Mezcal Tepeztate 96PF / 750ML This Tepeztate comes from multiple batches of the rare agave, which grows wild off the mountainsides. The plant ages 25-30 years before harvesting and requires a 3rd distillation due to its low sugar content Bold and complex, the tepeztate’s heavier body relays its intense flavors.

The Arroqueno agave takes about 15 to 20 years to mature. One of the singularities of these plants is their size, with harvested pinas weighing

up to 300kgs. This makes them one of the largest plants mezcal is made from. With a smooth start of bold roasted agave flavor, this velvety mezcal has an incredible texture of light fruit notes and a long-lasting finish. At 106 proof, this mezcal expression’s heat is elegant and balanced.

2 . They’re distilled differently. Both tequila and mezcal are made from the harvested core of the agave plant, otherwise known as the “piña.” However, that’s where the similarities in production end. Tequila is typically produced by steaming the agave inside industrial ovens before being distilled two or three times in copper pots. Mezcal, on the other hand, is cooked inside earthen pits that are lined with lava rocks and filled with wood and charcoal before being distilled in clay pots. While some large-scale mezcal producers have adopted modern methods, artisanal mezcal makers continue to use this more traditional method, which is the source of the smokiness commonly associated with mezcal. — Food & Wine G U L F O F M E X I C O

TEQUILA: must be made in one of the 5 certified states in Mexico (refer to the orange section on the map) MEZCAL: can be made in one of 8 approved states in Mexico, but is most broadly produced in Oaxaca state. WHY ARE THEY DIFFERENT?: 1 . They’re made with different kinds of agave. Mezcal can be made from more than 30 varieties of agave. According to spirits writer Chris Tunstall, the most common varieties of agave used for mezcal are tobalá, tobaziche, tepeztate, arroqueño and espadín, which is the most common agave and accounts for up to 90% of mezcal.

AGAVE MEZCAL

ESPINA MEXICO, OAXACA The soul of Espina Negra Mezcal lies in the hands of the Cruz Molina family. With over four generations of expertise in mezcal production in Santa Ana del Rio, Oaxaca, their passion and dedication are distilled into every drop of Espina Negra. This mezcal isn’t’ just crafted; it’s a heritage, a living tradition that honors the age-old methods and the land it comes from. Each bottle is a tribute to a family’s commitment to excellence. Espina Negra Mezcal Espadin 90PF / 750ML Crafted with the utmost care and tradition, this mezcal is a tribute to the community’s deep-rooted connection to agave cultivation. The agave Espadín, known for its versatility and rich flavor, is nurtured until it reaches the perfect age for harvesting. It’s then traditionally cooked in a pit oven, milled by tahona, and double distilled in a copper still, ensuring every 750ML bottle is imbued with the pure essence of Oaxaca. Espina Negra Mezcal Jabali 90PF / 750ML Espina Negra Mezcal Jabalí is an embodiment of patience and natural finesse. Distilled from 100% Jabali agaves, each plant can mature for 16 to 18 years, reaching the zenith of flavor complexity. This meticulous aging process ensures that every sip of Espina Negra Jabalí offers a unique taste experience, rich in depth and character. It’s’ not just a mezcal; it’s’ a journey through time encapsulated in a bottle. Espina Negra Mezcal Tepeztate 90PF / 750ML Espina Negra Tepeztate is a celebration of artisanal mezcal making. Traditionally cooked in a pit oven, milled by tahona, and double distilled in a copper still, this mezcal embodies the purest form of craftsmanship. The Cruz Molina family’s dedication over four generations ensures that every 750ML bottle preserves Oaxacan mezcal’s authentic flavor and spirit. Espina Negra Mezcal Tobala 90PF / 750ML Espina Negra Tobalá is a rare gem among mezcals, crafted meticulously from the wild agave Tobalá. Found in the lush landscapes of Santa Ana del Rio, Oaxaca, these agaves are known for their small size and the extended period of 10-12 years they require to reach full maturity. This slow growth process is what imparts Espina Negra Tobalá with its distinct, deeply refined flavor profile, making each 750ML bottle a precious reserve of taste and tradition.

IONICO MEXICO, OAXACA The Spanish term, Iónico, refers to an atom or molecule having an electric charge and is, by definition, never neutral. It is precisely this electric charge that facilitates the chemical reactions that make up the fermentation process. Ionico Mezcal Espadin 92PF / 750ML Similar to the atom it’s named for, mezcal Iónico leaves neutrality behind with an electric mezcal that everyone can enjoy. Expertly crafted from sustainably harvested 100% agave espadín, mezcal Iónico is great to enjoy on its own or in a cocktail. LA ESCONDIDA MEXICO, OAXACA Mezcal production in Mexico was banned by the Spanish crown for almost 100 years in the early 18th century. However, local producers resisted and continued to produce Mezcal in the beautiful mountains of Oaxaca. Among them were some brave women who risked their lives selling their Mezcal illegally from town to town. The brand La Escondida, meaning “the hidden lady”, was inspired by a local legend and honors those women who kept the tradition alive. Grand Mezcal uses 100% agave espadin (Agave Angustifolia Haw by its scientific name), one of the most prized agave varieties grown in the heartland of Oaxaca, to make La Escondida. La Escondida Mezcal Blanco 80PF / 700ML Traditional methods produce earthy, smoky notes on the nose, while its smooth and balanced flavor, robustly absorbed from cooked agave, provides a long finish which is both strong and pleasant. La Escondida Mezcal Reposado 80PF / 700ML Made from the Espadin agave from Oaxaca and rested in French oak barrels for 9 months. Earthy and smoky notes with hints of spice, vanilla, and chocolate. LAS MARIAS MEXICO, SAN LUIS POTOSI Las Marias Mezcal is a premium spirit crafted with great care and attention to detail for over 76 years. Made using the traditional cooking method and distilling agave, this mezcal has a rich and complex flavor profile that will delight any connoisseur. Las Marias Mezcal Salmiana 90PF / 750ML Salmiana Agave, a varietal native to the San Luis Potosi region of Mexico, gives this mezcal a distinctive character that sets it apart from other spirits. The agave is harvested by hand and roasted in underground pits, imparting a smoky flavor and aroma to the finished product. This mezcal is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing the full range of flavors to be appreciated. It also makes an excellent cocktail base, adding a unique and complex flavor profile to any drink.

LOS PERDIDOS MEXICO, OAXACA, SANTA CATARINA MINAS Crafted with reverence in the hallowed mezcal region of Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca, these exceptional Reposados are a tribute to the Arellanes brothers’ unwavering commitment to traditional methods and uncompromising quality. Created from 100% rare Tepeztate and Arroqueño maguey, each bottle tells a story of patience, skill, and deep respect for the land. Los Perdidos Arroqueño Reposado 99.6PF / 750ML A Symphony of Tradition and Terroir. 100% rare Arroqueño agave.

The spirit is aged for five months in French Armagnac casks, adding layers of sophistication.

MESTIZO MEXICO, OAXACA Mestizo Mezcal is an ancient spirit that is unique because of its distinctive, complex and aromatic flavors. Mezcal was produced centuries ago by the Zapotec tribe in Mexico and was considered to be a gift from the goddess Mayahuel. In the 16th century, the Spanish introduced a specialized distillation process to the Zapotec tribe that was used to improve the ancient beverage. Today, the founders of Mestizo Mezcal works with its producers from the Mexican state of Oaxaca to further define and enrich the taste of their product and create a perfect convergence of cultures within each bottle. Mestizo Mezcal Joven Blanco 80PF / 750ML The full expression and great balanced unaged Mez cal. Delicate smoky flavor, with sweet flowery spicy notes and long finish. Mestizo Mezcal Reposado 80PF / 750ML Aged for 8 months in new American white oak barrels. A balanced and refined taste with floral, vanilla flavors and a hint of oak. Mestizo Mezcal Añejo 80PF / 750ML Aged for 16 months in new American white oak barrels.

MINA REAL MEXICO, SANTA CATARINA MINAS Mina Real Mezcal is made with agave slowly cooked in a brick kiln without the consumption of firewood. Our steaming method highlights the plants’ bright floral bouquet without burning an industry average of 3.5 lbs of firewood per liter produced. Mina Real Mezcal Blanco 92PF / 750ML Utilizing a combination of both modern and historical techniques, the agave honeys for Mina Real are fermented intact with their crushed agave pina fibers, followed by a double distillation in pot stills for a pronounced earthiness and character. Mina Real Mezcal Reposado 84PF / 750ML Mina Real Reposado Mezcal is additionally barreled in American white oak.

Bottled undiluted at full cask strength. Los Perdidos Tepeztate Reposado 109.2PF / 750ML

Oaxacan Artistry in a Bottle. We hand select Tepeztate agaves, renowned for their complexity and scarcity. The heart is carefully roasted in earthen pits, imparting a distinct smokiness that speaks to the spirit’s ancestral

roots. After fermentation, the agave is distilled in traditional ceramic and bamboo pot stills to preserve the purest expression of the agave’s character. Aged for 4 months in French Cognac casks, bottled at full cask strength and completely undiluted.

Nacional Mezcal 1931 102PF / 750ML Mezcal Nacional 1931 is produced from wild agave tobalá, among the most prized of the agaves. Agave tobalá yields Mezcal Nacional 1931, a complex and elegant mezcal, and a worthy tribute to Oaxaca and its people. In 1931, Oaxaca was shaken by a devastating earthquake. Although much of Oaxaca was destroyed, its people were never defeated. Mezcal Nacional 1931 was created as a tribute to the great people of Oaxaca who lost much in 1931, but who never lost the courage, hope, and determination to persevere. Nacional Mezcal 1937 97PF / 750ML Nacional 1937 is made with wild agave cirial in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca using strictly artisanal methods. Nacional 1937 is a complex flavor-forward electric mezcal to commemorate the creation of the noble goal of the Federal Electricity Commission. Mezcal Nacional 1937 commemorates the illumination of a nation through innovation and a determination to emerge from the shadows. In 1937, then Mexican President Lázaro Cárdenas created the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) at a time when only a fraction of the country’s population had electricity. The objective was no less than to illuminate the night with electric innovation and the brightness of a multitude of incandescent bulbs. Mezcal Nacional 1937 recognizes the CFE through a truly electric mezcal. Nacional Mezcal 1938 92.4PF / 750ML Mezcal Nacional 1938 is an ensamble produced from wild agave cirial and cultivated agave espadín. Ensambles require extra care as they are produced by combining an optimum ratio of cirial and espadín piñas prior to cooking, crushing, fermentation, and distillation. The maestro meszcalero must carefully pre-determine the optimum ratio of agave varieties to yield the best possible ensamble, a closely guarded secret. This process produces an approachable, well-balanced, and truly flavorful mezcal that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of palates. Nacional Mezcal 1943 91.6PF / 750ML Mezcal Nacional 1943 is produced from wild and cultivated agave cupreata, among the most prized of the agaves. Agave cupreata, in the right hands can yield a delicate and flavorful mezcal, a worthy tribute to Michoacán and its people. In 1943, Michoacán was witness to the incredible power of volcanoes. That year, the Parícutin volcano surged suddenly from a cornfield. In the end, two towns were completely buried by lava leaving only the church towers rising dramatically above the hardened lava. Mezcal Nacional 1943 is produced from wild and cultivated agave cupreata, among the most prized of the agaves. Agave cupreata, in the right hands can yield a delicate and flavorful mezcal, a worthy tribute to Michoacán and its people.
