Description
From the celebrated village of San Juan del Río in Oaxaca, Alipus San Juan Mezcal is a masterful expression of 100 % Espadín agave grown in mineral-rich, high-altitude soils. Maestro mezcalero Don Joel Antonio Cruz roasts the agave in traditional earthen pits, slowly fermenting the crushed hearts in open-air pine vats before double distillation in small copper stills. The result is a complex spirit bottled at artisanal proof (around 47 % ABV) that captures the soul of the valley.
Pour a silky stream into your glass and breathe in aromas of roasted agave, fresh green apple, and damp river stones wrapped in wisps of campfire smoke. On the palate, bright citrus, white pepper, and spicy herbal notes mingle with sweet baked agave and a subtle saline minerality that speaks to San Juan’s limestone terroir. The finish is long, clean, and slightly smoky, inviting slow contemplation or creative cocktailing.
