Alipus San Juan del Rio Blanco Mezcal 750ml 48.0%

Experience the Artisanal Soul of Oaxaca with Alipús San Juan del Río Joven Mezcal

Alipús San Juan del Río is a masterpiece of artisanal Mezcal crafting, originating from the sun-drenched valleys of San Juan del Río in Oaxaca, Mexico. Handcrafted from 100% mature Espadín agave, this mezcal represents the raw beauty of traditional Mexican spirits. The agave hearts (piñas) are slowly roasted in underground stone ovens and fermented in local oak vats using natural wild yeasts, preserving the rustic, earth-forward essence of the terroir.

Distilled by master mezcalero Don Joel Cruz, this Blanco expression is a stellar showcase of pure artisanal distillation. Bottled at a bold 48.0% ABV, it retains an incredibly rich complexity that balances smoky, sweet, and mineral notes. Perfect for sipping neat on special occasions or crafting premium, complex cocktails, it is an essential addition for spirits connoisseurs seeking an authentic Mexican heritage experience.
