Mezcal Union Uno 700ml

The core release is aptly called Uno (meaning ‘one’) and is a blend of both farm-grown Espadín agave and wild Cirial agave. The latter variety, harvested from Tehuacán and Central valleys of Puebla, brings distinctive herbal and citrus notes to the blend. Even at this entry level, craftsmanship is front and centre: harvested at between eight and 14 years of age, the piñas roast over wood-fired rock oven pits; the roasted agave is crushed using equine-powered circular stone tahona mills; ferments are wild; and distillation takes place in traditional copper alembics. Even the bottling and labelling is done by the collective.
