Corte Vetusto Espadin Artesanal Mezcal

While this is not an Elote, we were quite impressed by the aroma set of sweet corn, smoke, sweet mesquite and just there citrus notes. The palate was clean and focused with up front sweet mesquite and gentle smoke making way to corn and just there citrus. D&M Tasting Notes

Meticulously hand-crafted by Juan Carlos Gonzalez Diaz, a 4th generation Zapotec Maestro Mezcalero. The art of mezcal making is in his blood, passed down through the generations since his great grandfather, Don Mauro. As a young boy he would watch his grandfather teaching his father. That same wisdom was later passed to Juan Carlos. He used to join his father on journeys to various villages in order to buy and sell mezcal. With keen eyes and a thirst for knowledge, he observed and learnt from all of the Maestros he visited. This has enabled him to forge his own unique style, whilst still honouring his family legacy and remaining true to tradition. Whist he initially studied and became an architect, he says he was called back to the world of mezcal by the voice of his ancestors. Importer Notes
