Mezcal Artesanal | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Wild Common Ensamble Mezcal Artesanal is produced in small batches in Oaxaca, Mexico, using traditional methods that honor mezcal’s heritage. Crafted from a blend of Espadín and Tobala agaves, the piñas are roasted underground in earthen ovens lined with volcanic rock, then crushed by a horse-drawn tahona. Fermentation occurs naturally in open-air wooden vats with wild yeasts before double distillation in copper pot stills. Bottled at 45% ABV, this ensamble showcases a vibrant balance of smokiness, earth, and sweet agave character.
