Description

This is a set of 10 (ten) 50 ml airplane-sized bottles.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by the Banhez Cooperative in the Ejutla district of Oaxaca, this mezcal represents the work of over 30 local families preserving traditional methods. The Ensamble blend combines approximately 90 % Espadín (Agave angustifolia) and 10 % Barril (Agave karwinskii), both hand-harvested at peak maturity. The piñas are roasted in underground earthen ovens, crushed using a traditional tahona stone, and naturally fermented in open air before being double-distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled joven (un-aged) at 42 % ABV, it maintains a clean yet expressive character showcasing its agave origins.
