Founded by Michael Sager of Sager + Wilde, Alex Wolpert of East London Liquor Company and working solely with small, independent producers, El Destilado specialises in a diverse range of terroir-driven spirits that reflect the distinctive environment in which they are created. Produced on a small scale, with batches ranging from 70 to 420 bottles, their offering is ever-evolving with a collection of limited releases showcasing the best of single agave distillates.
Completely wild-harvested Tobalá. Tobalá piñas can be anywhere between 15 and 25 kgs and are low-sugar. In a copper-still system like Berta’s, you can expect yield of about 1 litre per plant. Maestra Mezcalera Berta Vasquez is famous within Mexico and to mezcal heads internationally, but has not before exported any mezcal to Europe. This is wonderfully complex with dried fruit, fresh herbs and a salty minerality.
