With Xicaru Silver 102° they honour the tradition of master mezcaleros, who prize the concentrated characteristics of high-proof mezcals. Selecting a smaller cut from the heart of the distillate gives Xicaru Silver 102° a bolder, more robust flavour.Xicaru Silver 102° differs from Xicaru Silver in the way it is distilled. A narrower cut is taken from the heart, where the alcohol, smoke and maguey are more concentrated. Xicaru Silver and Xicaru Silver 102° both utilize traditional mezcal production methods passed down from generation to generation.The crisp, high proof of Xicaru Silver 102° asserts itself in all aspects, dominating on the nose and palate before gradually softening to the rich, smoky and vegetal notes of traditionally-produced, artisanal mezcal. The finish is warm and lasting.

Soft earthy aroma with fresh herbs and smoky characters. The palate is pleasant and balanced. Persistence of smoked character, herbs, subtly spicy.

This beautifully crafted, unaged Mezcal (Joven) is made in Santiago Matatlán by Carlos Méndez. Méndez comes from prime Mezcal stock; his family has produced the spirit for six generations and that experience has led to this bold and complex offering with intensely smoky, spicy, roasted agave flavours and a long floral and peppery finish that is characteristic of the lowland Espadín agave. Matatlán is QuiQuiRiQuis classic, (and highly mixable) house-style Mezcal. In the mouth it is wonderfully smooth and mouth-filling with flavours of toffee apple, wood smoke and cocoa butter, as well as something citrus/briny, and that juicy, peppery finish characteristic of Matatlán-grown Espadín. Having matured for at least seven years, the Espadín agave is locally harvested with the hearts (piñas) traditionally roasted in fire pits for three to five days, before crushing via tahona (stone wheel). Fermentation occurs outside in tinas, or oak vats, relying only on natural airborne yeasts. The final process is a double-distillation in small copper stills. Each roast produces around 1,000 litres of evocative, smoke-wreathed agave spirit. This is a full-flavoured, balanced Mezcal that is perfect as a house pour or for cocktails. With an ABV of 45%, its got, we think, an extra depth and intensity than most house/pouring Mezcals out there (at 40%). And while it has the purity and balance to be sipped neat, the depth guarantees that its a killer base for mixed drinks. Try it in a Tommys Margarita or an Oaxaca Old Fashioned.

La Gritona Reposado is a subtle and distinctive 100% blue agave tequila distilled by a local family in the small region of Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. La Gritona Reposado has been gaining notoriety around Southern California as a bartenders secret and their preferred after-shift drink. Some call it a session tequila. Very vegetal, without the sweetness, oakiness, or vanilla that is often associated with a highland Reposado. You will not find a rounder finish in the tequila world.
