A fifth generation master, Baltazar Cruz seperates himself from the myriad producers in this region by painstakingly working with challening agaves like this batch of Sierra Negra. The long, slow and deeply laborious traditional processes he employs prove transformative in the bottle with mezcals that rival expressions from the best producers in Mexico. This still proof mezcal is one of the finest expressions of this agave we have had to date.

Fourth generation Maestro Mezcalero Valente Garcia plies his craft in the tiny village of La Pila in the mountains of Oaxaca. Made from a cultivated batch of madrecuishe agaves, grown at the epicenter for the greatest terroir for this agave, the high altitude also adds another dimension of elevated and chiseled flavors to this laser sharp mezcal. A master class for the agave.

A mellow, nicely balanced sipping mezcal with a nice interplay of delicate smoke and creamy fruitiness.

Banhez Arroqueño is comprised of 100% arroqueño agave, an enormous species taking up to 25 years to reach full maturity and found only in rural regions of Oaxaca. This delightful mezcal is earthy and dark, with subtle smoke and underlying sweetness.

Produced in limited quantities , Banhez Cuishe is an incredibly easy sipping mezcal with all the tropical fruitiness, acidic dryness, and herbaceous notes that Cuishe is typically known for. 

Banhez Pechuga de Pavo  is comprised of 100% Espadín distilled with indigenous seasonal fruits and raw turkey breast placed in  a copper still outfitted with a refrescadora. This unique single distillation technique imparts deliciously balanced fruit aromas, while preserving the agave’s roasted flavors. The addition of the turkey, along with being culturally  significant, adds  a spectacular textural complexity into this special spirit. Versions of “distilados con pechuga” has been consumed across Oaxaca on special occasions for centuries.
