Espadín agaves for Los Amantes Reposado Mezcal are obtained from a group of small palenques in Oaxaca. Traditional mezcal-making techniques are employed by the brand, such as using a stone tahona for crushing the cooked agaves. This reposado expression matures for as long as 8 months in both clay pots and new American oak barrels. "The Lovers" is the English translation of Los Amantes, a name inspired by the Aztec myth of Mayahuel, the deity of the maguey plant and fertility.

An intense Agave Spirit from NOM-O01X. It starts with aromas of wood, caramel, baked agave, cassia bark, and chili. Its full life adds notes of butterscotch, caramel, soft wood smoke, cedar, pipe tobacco, agave, and dried herbs. It finishes with medium length complexity, showing notes of oak, cocoa powder, and orange rind. April 2017
Smoky tequila nose; fantastic representative of a smoky mezcal, honestly excellent—fruity, honey, smoky, and vegetal flavor; a little spicy; thin; finishes clean and vegetal celery
The aroma is more distinctly tequila-like. The palate is better, offering a lot of complexity. There's a mild smokiness and a consistent sweetness. Peppery notes linger on the tongue for a duration.
Smooth, with a profound agave flavor that isn't excessively smoky.
Smoky honey, clove, and minerals. Best by Jan 23, 2019 (meets expectations).
Tastes very much like tequila, with almost no smoke present.
