Banhez, Mezcal Joven (750ml)

Description

In the tiny village of San Miguel Ejutla in the central valley of Oaxaca, a co-operative comprised of 36+ families (Integradora Comercial de Ejutla) is committed to sustainable, fair trade mezcal production the same way its been done by their ancestors for nearly two centuries. Underground wood-fired pits, donkey-pulled tahonas (stone-wheel mills), fermentation in wooden tanks and small-batch distillation in copper alembics punctuate a process that has been and remains the lifes work of these mezcaleros, with the same care and attention to detail reflected in each and every bottle.

Comprised of 90% Espadn and 10% Barril agaves, this mezcal is delightfully mild, floral and fruity (pineapple, banana).
