Dixeebe San Martinero Mezcal 375ml
A Ritual of Respect and Tradition Dixeebe (pronounced “dee-sh-bay”) is a powerful Zapotec word, a sacred term of honor, respect, and love. It is spoken to give thanks to the gods, to Mother Earth, and to the people with whom you share the mezcal. This spirit is more than just a drink; it's a veneration of culture and a gift from the gods to be shared with reverence.
Produced by the legendary Maestro Mezcalero Gregorio Hernández in the community of La Compañía, Oaxaca, this limited-release mezcal is a testament to generations of artisanal expertise. The wild Maguey San Martinero (Agave Karwinskii) used in this expression is a tall, slender agave that can take years to mature, absorbing the unique essence of its rugged mountain environment.
Following time-honored traditions, the agaves are cooked in an underground pit oven, milled by a tahona (a traditional stone wheel), and double-distilled in a copper still. The result is a truly exceptional and complex spirit presented in a 375ml bottle, making this premium mezcal more accessible for discovery.
Tasting Notes
The Dixeebe San Martinero presents a harmonious blend of earth, fruit, and spice.
- Nose: The aroma is a captivating journey of cooked agave, with layers of earthy minerality and a hint of sweet, ripe fruit. You might find notes of wet stone, green vegetal elements, and a subtle smokiness.
- Palate: On the palate, the mezcal is smooth and well-balanced. It delivers a rich, complex flavor profile that may include notes of mint chocolate, tropical fruits like banana and mango, and a distinct herbal character. A touch of salinity and a delicate sweetness are balanced by a savory, almost meaty quality. The influence of the agave and the traditional distillation process gives it a unique, earthy presence, with a clean and bright finish.
- Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of white pepper, subtle spice, and a pleasant, faint smoke that gives way to a final taste of cocoa and agave sweetness.

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.
