Mezcal San Cosme Oaxaca (40%)

Mezcal San Cosme is an artisanal mezcal (unaged joven) from Santiago Matatlán in Oaxaca, Mexico, crafted from 100% Espadín agave and bottled at 40% ABV. Mezcal is often called tequila’s smoky cousin – it can be made from many agave varieties (while tequila uses only blue agave), and its agave hearts are traditionally roasted in underground pit ovens, giving it a distinct smoky, earthy character.

San Cosme embraces traditional craftsmanship: Espadín agaves (8–12 years old) are slow-roasted in conical earthen ovens, crushed with a stone tahona wheel, fermented in wooden vats, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. The result is a crystal-clear spirit with an exceptionally rich flavor that captures the soul of Oaxaca.

Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Cooked agave with hints of caramel and wood.
Palate: Smooth and gently smoky, with flavors of roasted agave, leather, and earth, balanced by a touch of caramel sweetness.
Finish: Warm, lingering, and slightly spicy.
