About this bottle

The brand's motto is "Bad ideas lead to amazing adventures." This mezcal represents an adventure in exploring Oaxaca's landscapes to find wild agave varieties. It features 100% karwinskii (cirial) agave, which was harvested when 16-18 years old. Following traditional clay oven roasting, it was fermented for over 5 days in exposed pine vats with a local yeast strain. The spirit undergoes a double distillation using copper and regional wood, and is bottled without additional aging.

Hal Horn 5.0

I am a professional photographer and have worked in the spirits industry for many years. Some of my clients include Brown Foreman, Labrot and Graham, mclain and kyne, and Anheuser-Busch. I recently discovered Mezcal Mala Idea and fell in love with it. I am very familiar with Mezcal and have produced work in Mexico with several different Mezcal producers. I must say that Mezcal Mala Idea is at the top of their game and crafting some of the finest Mezcals currently available. I would highly recommend trying this brand...
