Tapatio Reposado 1L

Tapatio Reposado is how aged tequila should be. The notes of spice and pepper coming from oak aging integrate wonderfully with the natural sweetness and tropical fruit quality of the Blue Weber agave. As you take more time with this tequila, it reveals hints of caramel, cacao, toasted coconut and floral perfume. A grassy undertone leads to a crisp and mineral finish. Great as a sipper, this finds a perfect home in cocktails,from Margaritas and Palomas to a Tequila Old-Fashioned. Oskar Kostecki

Compania Elaboradora de Sotol Por Siempre NV

Not part of the agave family , Sotol, colloquially know as the desert spoon, is an evergreen shrub that grows in the northern parts of Mexico and southern United States. For centuries it has been distilled in the Sierra Madras Mountains of northern Chihuahua into a spirit similar to mezcal. When we first asked about it, our friend Justin Briggs described it so: " basically it's like bell peppers, grass, smoke, fresh garden after a thunderstorm and slate." And we still haven't found better terms for this uncategorizable spirit. Oskar Kostecki

Derrumbes Selmiana San Luis Potosi 44.16%

Produced from the wild agave Selmiana in the high altitude Central Mexican Plateau in the state of San Luis Potosi, this is a beautiful foil to traditional Oaxacan mezcal. The agave is not roasted, but cooked (similar to Tequila) resulting in a spirit that is not smokey, but instead bursts on the palate with a crazy array of flavors. Herbal and mineral tones weave their way through a bright citrus and  floral character. There's a slight sourness, a funk that I associate with cheese rind, and noticeable acidity, which is quite shocking for a distillate. The wilder side of mezcal. What I also notice with my bottle of Selmiana is that it changes quite remarkably once open. When I first popped the cork, it felt slightly muted and withdrawn, but within 20 minutes all the exuberance I remembered from previous bottles was there again. It is fascinating watching the bottle change and evolve over a period of weeks. Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Barril Simeone y Apolonio

Barril is a subspecies of Karwinskii agave which grows wild at high elevations, and often takes up to fifteen years to mature. This batch from Simeone y Apolonio Ramirez is very effusive and perfumed, characterized by violets, jasmine, fig, a mineral slate character, a hint of umami and an undercurrent of salinity. Only 133 bottles made! Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Ensamble Berta Vasquez

An ensamble, or blend of several different agave species all co-roasted, co-fermented, and co-distilled, is a historic style with a long tradition. With different species taking various length of time to mature, making an ensamble was a mezcaleros way of pulling from the available bounty of the land and creating a special, oftentimes unique batch. These are some of our favorite styles of mezcal, carrying great complexity. This is a blend of Espadin, Tepeztate, Tobala, and various Karwinskiis, and explodes on the palate with notes of tropical fruit, melon, roasted pineapple, evergreen,  resin, violets, hot stones and remarkable salinity. Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Espadin Berta

The mezcals of Berta Vasquez (one of the few women mezcaleras!) have a beautiful common thread running through them, a mark of clay and baked earth. Old-school and rustic, they are lean and taut, like a runner keeping low to the ground, speeding over hot stones. Her Espadin (the most commonly planted agave varietal) holds true to that vein, and a rocky minerality interweaves through the notes of tropical fruit and roasted pineapple that are tell-tale signs of the species. There is also an herbaceous character of green chiles and green papaya, and a faint note of cacao. Very well-rounded and complex, this a standout Espadin. Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Espadin Capon Aureliano Hernandez

This mezcal is one of the most intriguing bottlings I have tasted. Aureliano Hernandez crafts this in the village of San Balthazar Guelevila using Espadin grown at altitudes of over 1500 meters. He allows the plants to reach full maturity and shoot up a quijote, a flowering stalk which grows from the piña and signals that the agave is ready to reproduce. At this point Aureliano cuts off the quijote and allows the Espadin to further mature, trapping all the sugars that were meant to go into its reproductive cycle in the piña. When he harvests at around twelve years of age, the agave is incredibly ripe, producing notes of raw honey, burnt sugar, and brown butter, with a rich and viscous mouthfeel. Absolutely stunning. Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Mexicanito Berta

Agave Mexicano, sometimes known as Dobadaan, is a close relative of Espadin. It typically grows to be larger than its cousin, and there are various strains found all across Oaxaca, many that are indigenous to a particular village. Mexicano is characterized by its full-bodied, spicy nature, and this example by Berta truly delivers. Notes of jalapeño, baking spice, cinnamon and roasted fruit abound on the rich and textured palate of this mezcal. With a long, sweet and smoky finish, this is a perfect gateway for whiskey drinkers dipping their toes in the world of agave spirits. Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Pechuga de Conejo Leonardo

A pechuga is a special batch of mezcal, traditionally made by hanging a chicken or turkey breast directly in the still, and letting the vapors pass through it on either the second of third disillation. Historically, a pechuga would be distilled in small batches and kept for celebratory purposes: graduations, weddings, etc. As mezcal increases in popularity, there is a greater demand for pechuga styles and many producers are now bottling their pechugas for commercial purposes. This particular expression comes from Aureliano Hernandez's cousin, Leonardo, in the village of San Balthazar Guelevila, and he uses a rabbit breast instead of the typical poultry. This lends the mezcal a rich, gamey, savory quality that blends with the smoky, roasted tropical fruit and mineral notes of the Espadin. A very unique bottling. Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Tepeztate Simeone y Apolonio

This is a single-distilled mezcal, and the intensity on it is quite breathtaking. Tepeztate is a rare wild agave, usually found growing on steep cliffs, and often taking up to 25 years to mature.Simeone y Apolonio Ramirez are a father and son team located in the village of San Agustin Amatengo, and make vibrant single-distilled mezcals from agave wild-harvested from the surrounding countryside. This batch of Tepeztate is deep and intense, showing signs of evergreen, herbs, pepper, resin, dried flowers, and green papaya. Very complex with a long finish. A little over 100 liters made! Oskar Kostecki

Rezpiral NV Tobaziche Berta Vasquez

Tobaziche is part of the Karwinskii family of agave, and is characterized by a long piña (heart of the agave) and long leaves that shoot out high off the ground. For me, Karwinskii agave almost always exhibit a higher toned, more floral character, and tend to have more pronounced acidity as well. Berta's 2017 batch of Tobaziche is an interplay of red and green chiles, dried violets, orange and grapefruit flesh, orange rind, mango, and hot stones.  Balanced and complex, with a long clean finish - this is a mezcal to savor.
