Machetazo Mezcal Salmiana 750ml 40.0%

Machetazo Mezcal Salmiana – The Floral Giant of San Luis Potosí

Dive into the unique terroir of San Luis Potosí with Machetazo Mezcal Salmiana. Crafted from 100% wild Salmiana agave—often referred to as the "Green Giant" due to its massive size and extended maturation period—this artisanal mezcal offers a striking departure from typical smoky profiles. Housed in a distinct 750ml bottle, Machetazo honors the labor-intensive traditions of Mexican jimadores who harvest these majestic plants by hand, delivering a spirit of exceptional floral and herbal clarity.

Bottled at a smooth and approachable 40.0% ABV, this mezcal is celebrated for its bright, botanical, and refreshingly vibrant character. Unlike the heavy campfire smoke found in southern Mexican mezcals, the Salmiana agave imparts a fresh, green, and subtly sweet tasting experience. Whether you are a curious agave explorer seeking a unique sipping spirit or a creative mixologist looking for a fresh, vegetal twist in high-end cocktails, Machetazo Salmiana is a masterclass in regional diversity.
