Montelobos Mezcal Artesanal Joven Espadin Oaxaca 86.4 Proof 750ml

Montelobos Mezcal Artesanal Joven Espadín Oaxaca — 86.4 Proof / 750ml

Montelobos — meaning “mountain of wolves” — is a mezcal of genuine artisanal character, crafted in the highlands of Oaxaca by master distiller Iván Saldaña, one of Mexico’s most respected agave spirits experts. Made from 100% Espadín agave using traditional artesanal methods — stone-roasted piñas, tahona crushing, open fermentation, and copper pot distillation — Montelobos is a mezcal that honors the craft and complexity of Oaxacan tradition while delivering a flavor profile that is genuinely surprising and distinctive.

Certified Kosher and made with organic agave, Montelobos occupies a rare space: a mezcal with serious artisanal credentials that is also approachable and endlessly versatile. Sweet, savory, and funky in the best possible way — a mezcal that will surprise and delight with every sip.

Clear in the glass, with grassy, umami-driven aromas of olive brine, elote, sweet corn, mint, caramelized plantains, honey, and pistachio. The palate is oily and dry with a distinctive fat body — blanched almond, roasted tomato, coconut cream, cider apple, and spiced pear — finishing long and peppery with cracked black pepper and savory depth.
