Mezcal Amores is born from a trip amongst friends to the lands of Oaxaca its a project made with love for the people, the plant, the country and for the mezcal elixir. Our main focus is on providing high-quality, artisanal mezcal while at the same time applying the Mezcal Amores Philosophy. This Philosophy consists of working only with sustainably cultivated agaves, managing fair trade and redistributing a part of our net profit to the local communities. These commitments ensure a long-term relationship with producers, along with the preservation of the species and its biodiversity.
 
Mezcal is an alcoholic beverage that speaks of the land and the people who crafted it with absolute passion, making it probably the best expression of what is the “terroir”, perhaps one of the most complex and sophisticated in the spirit world. It is considered the oldest spirit of the Americas and there is evidence that supports that is one of the oldest in the world (first evidence of distillation around 400 years B.C).
 
Verde Momento is made with 8 year old agave Espadin by mezcalero Javier Olvera “El Che Burras” in Tlacolula, Oaxaca. The agaves are cooked in an underground oven using ocote, holm oak, and Peppertree which give the mezcal a smokiness desirable for cocktails. After cooking for about 5 days, the agaves are tahona crushed before being put into 1,500 liter fermentation vats. The natural fermentation can last from 7 to 30 days depending on the production season, the amount of rain, and variations in temperature. Finally, it is doubled distilled in a 500 liter copper still. This mezcal is has notes of grass, soft smoke, and fresh peach.
