Alipus San Luis Del Rio 750 ML

Alipús San Luis Del Río is a mezcal from the Alipús project, which sources single-village releases from small palenques across Oaxaca rather than blending production together, and this expression comes from the village of San Luis Del Río. It's made from espadín agave roasted in underground pits, crushed by hand or tahona, fermented in wooden vats, and double-distilled in copper stills — the traditional artisanal process most small Oaxacan producers still follow. Expect smoke, roasted agave, and citrus with a peppery edge and a smooth finish carrying a touch of fruit sweetness. As a village-specific bottling, its character reflects that particular palenque's water, wood, and technique rather than a blended house style.

How to drink Alipús San Luis Del Río

Sip it neat in a copita to taste this village's specific smoke and agave character. It also works in a mezcal Paloma or Negroni riff if you want the smoke to carry through a mixed drink.
