Artisan mezcal sourced and imported by Michael Sager & Marcis Dzelzainis of Sager & Wilde & Alex Wolpert of East London Liquor Company.
Made by mezcalero Atelo Ramirez from Pichomel, a local form of the agave Marmorata. Atelo hand mashes his agave with a giant wooden hammer and distills in a hybrid still where he uses a stainless steel drum for the boiling chamber, a clay hat on top, and a copper coil to condense through. Highly aromatic with grapefruit & pine notes. Tart & sweet on the palate with pronounced minerality & smokiness on the finish.
