Mezcal

Aged for 4 months in ex-bourbon barrels. Sweet agave, light smoke. Toffee, vanilla, and hints of butterscotch and caramelized pear on the palate. Velvety throughout.

Siete Misterios Coyote is made with the maguey Coyote. Coyote in this region very closely resembles maguey Arroqueno while it’s growing, but the mezcal that is made from it is quite different. Typically, maguey Coyote has more herbal notes than Arroqueno, and this mezcal is no exception. Due to the rarity of this agave in the Sola de Vega region, the Siete Misterios Coyote mezcal is very rare and hard to find. If you see it, try it. This mezcal is distilled in clay pots and all of the milling is done by hand.

An aromatic balance of cucumber, dill and dried grapefruit peel combined with a light presence of smoke and sweet accents of honey and vanilla. Herbs and citrus peel lead to dry notes of tobacco, pepper, and olives. Delicate accents of smoke, wet earth, and butter create richness and depth. A long, robust finish features beautifully toasted corn.

The Espadín Mezcal was our first product. After learning from Maestros Mezcaleros across Mexico, we crafted the most traditional production process. We noticed distillates in Sola de Vega had a sweeter and spicier feature compared to other villages, so we decided to produce our own Mezcal there and explored the concept “from seed to the bottle.” Our Espadín Mezcal displays rich minerality with notes of avocado leaf, fresh herbs, flowers, and citrus.

This ensamble is a blend of Espadin and Tobalá. Tobalá is known as king of the agaves because of its uniqueness. The agave itself is very different from most other varietals. It is physically smaller with drastically different leaves compared to Espadín and it can only be reproduced through seeds, unlike most agaves which can also produce offshoots. This makes Tobalá difficult to find and even harder to make into Mezcal since you need more of them compared to larger plants.
