The wonderful Mezcal El Silencio "Joven" comes from the village of San Baltazar Guelavila. This special blend of three agave types - Espadin, Tobaisiche & Mexicano - is double distilled in copper pots making it a beautiful sipping Mezcal. Robb Report agrees, "Smooth without giving up the rustic character of the drink, with the flavors of fennel, white pepper, and fine saddle leather lurking behind a merely lip-numbing burn." - Michalene Busico ("Lightning in a Bottle," June 2014). The blend of the various agave types provides for balance that is unseen in many of the single varietal expressions and depth of character that is not rivaled at any price point.

Mezcal UNIN is an artisanal handcrafted spirit produced by the union of Zapotec Mezcal producer families from the Sierra of Oaxaca, Mexico. Our core is to unite families offering them a fair trade business model and path to social development.

Mezcal UNIN was born with the intention of creating positive change in Mexico. We believe that working in unity and collaboration is the only way to preserve the millenary tradition of producing artisanal Mezcal. The best way of feeling and tasting Mexico is through its Mezcal.

Our vision is to generate as much progress as we can through working together as a co-op. Investing and supporting indigenous families so that they can start their own workshops, continue to reforest the fields and together spread the word of UNIN in every bottle through out the world.

Centuries ago, in pre-hispanic Mexico a lightning bolt struck the gem (or heart) of the maguey plant, roasting and fermenting its sugars, and out poured the sacred and mystical sap known today as Mezcal. Hundreds of years later, artist-alchemist duo AdrinAdrina and Elliott Coon, both daughters of bohemian bootleggers, started brewing their own spirits and infusing elixirs. Together, the duo are powered by the belief that a positive lifestyle elevates consciousnessand thus GEM&BOLT was born.

Handcrafted by fourth generation Maestro Mezcaleros, GEM&BOLT is a small batch, artisanal Mezcal produced using traditional methods with no artificial yeast or chemicals. Using mature (8 to 10 yr) 100% Espadin Agave from the high lands of Oaxaca, GEM&BOLT is a clean spirit, first distilled in small copper stills and then rested (not aged) in oak barrels for 3 to 6 months prior to its second distillation with the traditional Mexican herb Damiana giving GEM&BOLT a smooth (less smokey) profile with subtle herbal notes.

Pechuga has a nose of basil, lemon, ocean, and fruit. It is almost scotch-like in its smoky taste. And yes, in addition it is salty, very soft, and tastes a wee bit like chicken. The Pechuga production season is limited to year end due to the special ingredients: Wild mountain apples and plums that must be in season and cannot be substituted. This mezcal is the most rare we have ever encountered.

The Del Maguey Original Village Series pays homage to the masterful hands of our foundational four palenqueros and the rich terroir of Oaxaca. These special four expressions represent the beginning of the Del Maguey linage dating back over 20 years.

First released in 1995-96, the Original Single Village Series highlights the distinct styles and traditions of the four palenqueros. The expressions are 100% Maguey Espadin harvested from four villages within a relatively small geographical region, yet each possesses a unique microclimate. The result is a wonderful study of the art of the producer and the various, distinct flavors provided through the diverse biodiversity of Oaxaca.

Sombra Ensamble is a limited-edition blend of mezcals distilled from wild Tepeztate and Tobal agaves harvested from high in the Oaxacan Sierra. Recognizing wild and rare precious resources, only 2,000 bottles were created.

This special blend of Ensamble Mezcal is made from 61% Tepeztate, part of the agave Marmorata family. The elusive Tepeztate can take as much as 25 years to mature in the wild, and grows primarily on the sides of steep rocky cliffs. Because of its wild and rare nature we must take care not to overharvest as to ensure the future of this beautiful plant.

Tobala agave makes up 39% of Ensamble and is part of the agave Potatorum family. Tobala grows in the wild at high altitudes for 12-15 years, and because of its relatively small size yields intensely aromatic but extremely limited quantities of mezcal. Unlike most other agave, Tobala can grow from seed and Sombra has taken care to plant 20,000 Tobala agave this year.

Each bottle of Sombra Ensamble is packaged in a luxury gift box with an informational booklet and a hand-numbered card.

A mezcalero's mezcal made from Agave Espadn tells a lot about that mezcalero's style and craftsmanship. Because specific notes cant be attributed to different agave types, the characteristics of a mezcal Espadn can be very indicative of the hand of the maker.

Mezcal Vago's Espadn from Emigdio has become a favorite amongst mezcal novices as well as enthusiasts. It was awarded Double Gold, Best in Class & the coveted ""Best Mezcal"" at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The terroir shines through in this mezcal, and you really get a sense of place when tasting it. Every batch is slightly different, but ABV is usually around 50%. This mezcal is a magnificent sipping mezcal, but like all of Emigdio's mezcals, it serves particularly well accompanying fresh fish preps like nigiri or ceviche, as well as fresh oysters.

An artisanal handcrafted and unaged mezcal blend of agave Espadn and the wild agave Tobal. Produced and bottled in Oaxaca, Mexico. Slightly smoky, flavours and aromas of butter, mint, cinnamon, mango, herbs and minerals.

We are replanting both species used. An agave takes time to grow, but our goal is to be able to exclusive use agaves we replanted - as soon as nature allows it. We use sustainable farming practices to actively avoid soil erosion.

Mezcal UNIN's goal is to preserve traditional distilling craft and empower locals to grow socioeconomically by uniting artisanal distilleries and agave farmers.

Mezcal El Tinieblo is an ultra premium mezcal handcrafted in the state of Tamaulipas at Rancho El Tinieblo, our family's 9,000 acre ranch and wildlife preserve where we grow and distill our agave. Our Joven is an ensemble of Espadin and Salmiana, two of the most treasured agave varieties in mezcal bottled in unique hand blown glass.

Each plant is carefully grown with zero pesticides, insecticides, and harmful chemicals. As it takes at least 20 years for one plant to mature, for every one harvested, we plant 25 more. Under the guidance of our maestro mezcalero, we identify and harvest the best and ripest maguey, the base that will ensure each batch will result in a refined mezcal. Cooking maguey is a social and committed 24 hour process that brings everyone from the ranch together around the open-pit fire to watch the roasting of the pias over wood, rocks and earth. This whole process is done on our ranch so we can ensure our quality. Ritual dictates mezcal to be sipped leisurely in good company, served with orange slices and handmade Sal de Guzano (insect-based salts). Mezcal is for sacred consumption. Excess is a profanity.
