For nearly a thousand years, Monte Albán existed as an influential Zapotec center in Mesoamerica. It was here that Spanish conquistadors first discovered the local fermented agave drink called “pulque.” From that native spirit, the Spaniards created “mescal.” Monte Alban is named for the mountaintop settlement in Oaxaca, Mexico known for its agave plants, both cultivated and wild. Monte Alban Mezcal is made from 100% Espadin agave sourced from Oaxaca. Monte Alban Mezcal possesses a moderately smoky and salty character with a mildly fruity finish.
Mezcal, often dubbed as tequila's smoky and adventurous cousin, is a distinctive Mexican spirit with a rich and flavorful personality. Crafted from the agave plant, Mezcal stands out for its unique production methods, which include roasting the agave hearts in earthen pits, giving it that signature smoky essence. Each batch of Mezcal is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship, with maestros mezcaleros overseeing the entire process, from harvest to bottling. The spirit's flavor profile is diverse, ranging from earthy and herbal notes to a delightful smokiness that sets it apart. Sipped neat or enjoyed in creative cocktails, Mezcal offers an exciting and cultural journey, capturing the spirit of Mexico in every drop.
