About this bottle

The Producer is a brand focused on showcasing individual mezcal varieties, producers, and palenques. This Arroqueño (agave oaxacensis) mezcal is the creation of Mezcalero Juan Pacheco Santos. Agaves, some as old as 17 years, are harvested and then slow-roasted for 72 hours in an underground oven using huamuchil wood. The roasted agaves are subsequently crushed, fermented in open-air for 8-10 days, and then double distilled. Just 800 bottles are allocated for the US market, becoming available in June 2022.

A single taste transports you to the core of Oaxaca. Wood smoke, sweet agave, subtle fruitiness, and a mineral character derived from the water used to reduce the proof. It's among the most genuine-tasting mezcals I've enjoyed over the years. The individual components are perfectly balanced, resulting in a smooth and lively tasting experience. A key factor is the open-air fermentation, which consistently lends a distinctive touch to each batch. Exceptionally crafted, showcasing the expertise of maestro mezcalero, Juan Pacheco Santos.
