  Koch EL Mezcal Maguey Espadin Mexico Mezcal 70 cl 47%

  Item no.: 059763-615-890

  There's a sweet smokiness to this Mezcal that calls to mind a late-night fireplace – with ripe fruit and a whisper of violets waiting behind it. This is what Oaxaca tastes like when the craft is given time.

  Expert Description

  Koch EL Mezcal Maguey Espadín is a Mexican Blanco Mezcal from Oaxaca, double-distilled in clay pots and bottled at 47%. The distillery behind the bottle is Koch El Mezcal, founded by Carlos Moreno, who revived his family's mezcal tradition in 2009 and today works with more than 52 mezcalero families across 18 communities in Oaxaca. This particular expression is handmade in Jayacatlán from Espadín agave matured for 7-9 years before it is harvested, cooked and distilled twice in traditional clay pots – a method that gives the Mezcal its distinctive, rounded character.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet smoke reminiscent of a hearth fire, ripe fruit and a strong herbal backbone. Toward the end, hints of menthol, violets and a touch of pineapple emerge.

  Palate

  Persistent cooked pineapple meets coconut, rose and freshly cut herbs. Midway through, ripe peach and cinnamon appear alongside a touch of white pepper.

  Finish

  A delicate, almost sherry-like sweetness lingers long after each sip.

  Did You Know?

  While most Mezcal distilleries today use copper stills, Koch El Mezcal distils this Espadín in traditional clay pots – an age-old method that demands far more skill, but one many mezcaleros believe produces a softer, rounder spirit.

  Koch EL Mezcal Maguey Tobasiche Mexico Mezcal 70 cl 47.13%

  Item no.: 059763-615-892

  This Mezcal comes from wild agave that spent twelve years growing free before it was brought back to Río de Ejutla and fired in a copper still. The result is herbal, mineral, and more than a little wild.

  Expert Description

  Koch EL Mezcal Maguey Tobasiche is a Mexican Blanco Mezcal Artesanal from Oaxaca, double-distilled in a copper alembic still with a rectifying plate and bottled at 47.13%. It comes from the same distillery as Koch EL Mezcal Maguey Espadín – founded by Carlos Moreno and built around a network of more than 52 mezcalero families across 18 communities in Oaxaca. This expression is handmade in Río de Ejutla from wild Tobasiche agave, which takes around 12 years to mature in the wild before it is harvested, cooked and distilled twice.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  A strong herbal and mineral aroma with a touch of white pepper, wet riverstone, ginseng and cashew nut, finishing with a light spicy note of roasted dried chili.

  Palate

  Medium-bodied, with herbal spices like ginseng and clove alongside strong notes of cooked sweet potato, sweet onion and radish.

  Finish

  A light touch of orange peel fades into a finish of toasted chestnuts.

  Did You Know?

  Tobasiche is a wild agave that is not grown in rows like Espadín, but foraged in the wild once it reaches maturity after around twelve years – making it considerably scarcer than most other agave varieties used for Mezcal.
