Dos Boots Mezcal Espadín Artesanal La Pila 750ml - One can indulge in the authentic taste of Oaxaca with Dos Boots Mezcal Espadín Artesanal La Pila. This distinctive mezcal is meticulously crafted in the municipality of Santa Maria La Pila in the Sierra Sur region of Oaxaca, Mexico. Nestled at approximately 5,000 feet elevation in a semi-dry temperate climate, the maguey Espadín agave fields offer a unique flavor palette to this mezcal.
The brand's Maestro Mezcalero, Moises Pacheco, utilizes traditional, age-old methods to create this remarkable spirit. When the agave plant is ready to reproduce, the Quiote stalk that emerges is carefully cut to preserve the sugar content, thus enhancing the depth and complexity of the final product.
The creation process of Dos Boots Mezcal Espadin Artesanal La Pila takes place in Pacheco's own backyard palenque. The agave is hand-milled using a wooden mallet, a laborious process that ensures maximum flavor extraction. This is followed by fermentation in wooden vats, infusing the mezcal with rich depth and character. Finally, the spirit undergoes double-distillation in traditional copper alembic stills, refining and concentrating the flavors.

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.
