Banhez Destilado de Piña: A Taste of Oaxaca's Soul
Embark on a unique sensory journey with Banhez Destilado de Piña. This groundbreaking Mexican pineapple brandy masterfully blends traditional Oaxacan distillation techniques with the vibrant, tropical essence of ripe pineapples. Crafted by the renowned Banhez cooperative, renowned for its exceptional agave spirits, this innovative piña destilado offers a truly distinctive and captivating experience for the adventurous palate.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: An inviting and surprisingly complex bouquet immediately greets the senses. Bright, sweet aromas of fresh, grilled pineapple are interwoven with subtle smoky undertones, evoking the scent of an outdoor market. Hints of caramelized sugar, a touch of earthy minerality, and a whisper of green, leafy notes provide depth and intrigue.
- Palate: The first sip delivers a remarkably smooth and full-bodied experience. The initial burst of juicy, ripe pineapple is balanced by a gentle warmth and a nuanced smoky character that is present but never overpowering. Mid-palate, notes of roasted agave (a subtle nod to Banhez's roots) emerge, along with a delicate sweetness and a hint of vanilla. There's a pleasant tanginess, like perfectly ripened pineapple, that keeps the palate refreshed.
- Finish: The finish is long, clean, and remarkably satisfying. The tropical fruit flavors linger beautifully, complemented by a persistent yet mellow smokiness. A touch of spice and a whisper of herbaceousness round out this elegant and memorable spirit, leaving a desire for another sip.
Beyond the Sip:
Banhez Destilado de Piña is more than just a spirit; it's a testament to the innovative spirit and rich heritage of Oaxacan distillation. Enjoy it neat to fully appreciate its intricate flavors, or explore its versatility in creative cocktails. This is a truly unique offering that will surprise and delight even the most discerning connoisseur, opening up new possibilities in the world of premium spirits.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
