Alipus San Andres Blanco Mezcal 750ml 48.0%

Experience the Soul of Oaxaca: Alipus San Andres Blanco Mezcal

Alipus San Andres Blanco Mezcal is an extraordinary artisanal spirit that captures the true essence of traditional Mexican distilling. Handcrafted in the high-altitude village of San Andrés Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, this mezcal is produced using 100% Espadín agave grown in calcareous, mineral-rich soils. The agave hearts are roasted in underground stone pits, crushed with a traditional horse-drawn stone tahona, naturally fermented in cypress wood vats, and double-distilled in copper pot stills by Master Mezcalero Valente García. The result is a highly expressive mezcal that reflects its unique terroir with unparalleled clarity.

With its robust 48.0% ABV, Alipus San Andres delivers a bold yet remarkably balanced flavor profile. It is a dream spirit for aficionados and curious explorers alike, offering an authentic taste of Oaxacan culture. Whether enjoyed neat to appreciate its complex layers or used as a premium base to elevate craft cocktails, this Blanco Mezcal brings an undeniable touch of rustic luxury to any back bar or tasting collection.
