Peloton de la Muerte Mezcal is a serious, traditional artisan mezcal from Oaxaca — Mexico's mezcal heartland and the spiritual home of agave-based spirits. Mezcal is made from agaves that are roasted in earthen pits, a technique that gives the spirit its signature smoky character — utterly unlike the steam-cooked agaves used in tequila production. Peloton de la Muerte ("Squad of Death") embraces the traditional Oaxacan craft with smoke-driven mezcals that drink with serious authenticity. The pour reveals a brilliantly clear, slightly silver shimmer. The nose opens with classic mezcal smoke, roasted agave, dried herbs, gentle citrus zest, and a wisp of mineral-driven earth. On the palate, expect a complex, layered pour with concentrated agave character, smoky depth, gentle pepper warmth, citrus brightness, and a long, smoky finish that lingers gracefully. The 1L size is ideal for stocking the bar with serious mezcal for cocktail night. Pair it with grilled meats, ceviche, tacos al pastor, or sip neat with a salt-and-orange-slice serve.
