El Lobo de la Sierra Ensamble
Category: Raicilla Joven (100% Agave Ensamble)
Origin: Sierra Occidental de Jalisco, Mexico
ABV: 46%
Born in the high-altitude forests of the Sierra Occidental de Jalisco, El Lobo de la Sierra Ensamble brings together wild and semi-cultivated agave varieties co-cooked, co-fermented, and co-distilled in a single batch. Harvested from steep, rocky mountain slopes, agaves such as Maximiliana (Sierra), Chico Aguiar, and Vallarta blend their distinct signatures into a complex, harmonious portrait of mountain terroir.
Crafted with traditional, rustic methods, the agaves are slow-roasted in masonry ovens, hand-crushed, and fermented in open-air wooden vats with wild yeasts. Double-distilled in traditional copper, wood-topped alembics, this unaged ensamble showcases the synergy of multiple agave species. The result is a layered, highly botanical raicilla that balances bright fruitiness with deep forest herbalism and earthy minerality.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Layered and vibrant. Aromas of ripe pineapple, green papaya, and tart plum mingle with crushed pine needles, wild sage, floral pollen, and a soft backdrop of woodsmoke.
- Flavor: Viscous and full-flavored. Sweet caramelized agave and tropical kiwi lead the palate, giving way to rustic mid-palate notes of lemon verbena, white pepper, subtle anise, and damp clay minerality.
- Mouthfeel & Finish: Medium-to-full-bodied with an oily, coating texture and bright natural acidity. The finish is long, crisp, and complex, leaving a lingering trail of citrus peel, pine resin, and savory mountain botanicals.

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.
