Alipus San Luis Blanco Mezcal 750ml 48.0%

Alipús San Luis Blanco Mezcal: An Artisanal Masterpiece of Smoky Elegance and Rich Oaxaca Heritage

Alipús is a visionary project dedicated to preserving the ancient, artisanal craft of mezcal making. By collaborating with independent Maestros Mezcaleros (master distillers) across remote villages, Alipús highlights the distinct terroir and soul of Oaxaca. The San Luis del Río expression is crafted in a steep, sun-drenched valley where agave plants grow under intense heat, concentrating their sugars and resulting in a Mezcal of incredible depth and complexity.

Crafted from 100% Espadín agave, this Blanco Mezcal is hand-harvested, roasted in underground stone pits, and double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills. Bottled at a bold 48.0% ABV, it perfectly balances intense artisanal smokiness with delicate fruit and mineral notes. Perfect for connoisseurs who appreciate pure agave expression, Alipús San Luis is an exquisite journey into the heart of authentic Mexican spirits.
