Clear color. Smoky aromas and flavors of campfire embers and leather, smoked venison jerky, olive and cheese, and green herbs and cactus with a supple, tangy, fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, intricate, very long finish with accents of char-grilled pineapple and coconut, spiced toffee, and white cigar ash. A fantastically rich and flavor-packed Mezcal with everything a Mezcal aficionado craves, in spades. ... More details

Showing a notable fruit forward nose suggesting grapefruit zest, grilled tropical fruit, fresh mango, and blossoming spring flowers. The fruit on the nose makes a smooth transition into grassier notes suggestion savory herbs and freshly cut grass with a slight salinity. That palate is bold yet smooth with fine tannin to be felt around the mouth. A long lasting finish that recalls the fruit forward nose. - 2022 ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE

Climbing the rugged dirt roads high above San Dionisio Ocotepec, we discover the remote village of Las Milpas, a true example that “you don’t find Mezcal, Mezcal finds you.” Here, nestled among the cornfields overlooking rolling pastures, lies the palenque of Anastacio Cruz Antonio and his sons Rigoberto, Abel, and Pedro. Their Single Village expression is crafted by roasting ripe agave Espadin in an earthen horno carved into the granite hillside. Roasted agave is milled using a horse-drawn molino and fermented using only ambient microbes and yeasts in open-air wooden fermentation tanks and twice distilled in small copper stills. Las Milpas offers a nose of slate and minerals, balanced by tropical fruit and citrus notes, with rose petal florals, lavender, tarragon, and pea shoots, that evolves into a long and pleasantly dry finish.
