Monte Alban Tequila
Small batch bottles, honest prices, kept right here in Commack.
The story behind Monte Alban
Reposado tequila is blanco rested in wood, usually oak, for a couple of months up to a year, which softens the agave and adds a light amber color with vanilla and warm spice. Mezcal is a different spirit from a different plant: roasted agave hearts give it smoke, earth and a savory edge that tequila rarely has.
We keep Monte Alban Reposado and Monte Alban Mezcal in small numbers at our Commack store, one or two bottles at a time, so call ahead if you want one held.

Which Monte Alban is right for you?
These are modestly priced bottles, the Reposado at 19.99 and the Mezcal at 24.99 for a 750mL. At those numbers you can keep one on the shelf for mixing and one for slow sipping. Stock is thin, one or two bottles at a time, so call the store at (631) 343-7200 before you drive over.
Rested agave holds up in a margarita without hiding the lime.
Roasted agave smoke, neat in a small glass, no cocktail needed.
