About this bottle

Banhez Mezcal Artesanal Joven Maguey Mexicano comes from the same Oaxaca producer cooperative behind Banhez's other single-varietal bottlings, this time built around maguey mexicano (also called agave criollo), a wild agave with a longer maturation time than cultivated espadin. Like the rest of the Banhez range, it's roasted in an earthen pit, crushed, fermented, and distilled by hand in small batches at the palenque, then bottled without any aging. The maguey mexicano tends to produce a mezcal with a fruitier, slightly sweeter profile than more herbal wild varieties, while still carrying the earthy smoke the category is known for. A solid pick for drinkers exploring how much a single wild agave variety can shift a mezcal's character.

How to drink Banhez Maguey Mexicano

Sip it neat in a copita to actually taste what maguey mexicano brings versus jabalí or espadín. It's a single-varietal bottling, so save it for sipping rather than a mixed drink.
