Tres Papalote Mexicano Mezcal

Tres Papalote Mexicano Mezcal is an artisanal joven mezcal from Oaxaca, made from 100% agave: a blend of roughly 70% Maguey Mexicano (Agave rhodacantha) and 30% Espadin (Agave angustifolia). The agave hearts are baked underground for five days over ocote and mesquite wood before fermentation and distillation, and the mezcalero decides by hand when each batch is ready for bottling. The brand describes all its expressions as artisanal and additive free. This expression is bottled at 45% ABV in a 750ml bottle and has earned a Gold Medal from the Beverage Tasting Institute and Platinum at the 2025 SIP Awards.

Tasting Notes: Lightly smoky with floral lift.

Nose: Floral, with berries and vanilla.

Palate: Berry fruit and vanilla with hints of spice.

Serve: Neat in a copita, or in a Mezcal Mule or Paloma.
