Hacienda Oponguio Seco: A Journey of Flavors and Tradition
The Unique Character of Agave Inaequidens
Discover the distinctive essence of Hacienda Oponguio Seco, a premium mezcal born from the heart of Erongaricuaro, Michoacán. This exceptional spirit is crafted from Agave inaequidens, a wild agave variety that flourishes under the shade of Pine and Oak trees. The slow maturation of the agave, taking 20-25 years, imbues this mezcal with a depth and complexity of flavors that are as unique as the land it comes from. This expression is a tribute to Mexico's rich biodiversity and traditional mezcal-making practices.
A Symphony of Natural Flavors
Hacienda Oponguio Seco is a testament to the mastery of mezcal production. Each sip reveals a cascade of flavors, including the warmth of anise, the gentle spice of canella, the refreshing zing of sweet lemongrass, and the subtle sweetness of dried strawberries. These natural notes create a palate that is both robust and delicate, offering a tasting experience that is truly unparalleled. This mezcal is perfect for those who seek a spirit with a narrative that tells the story of its origin with every taste.
Embrace the Essence of Seco
The Seco expression of Hacienda Oponguio is more than just a mezcal; it's an invitation to explore the nuances of Mexican craftsmanship. Each bottle captures the essence of its unique terroir, offering a mezcal that is not only flavorful but also a piece of the rich cultural tapestry of Michoacán. Whether enjoyed neat, as part of a sophisticated cocktail, or as a special gift, Hacienda Oponguio Seco will leave a lasting impression.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
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.
