The Spirit of Community Captured in Every Bottle

Tasting Notes
- This extraordinary mezcal captivates from the first encounter with powerful aromas of baked pineapple and vibrant juice essence, perfectly balanced by an earthy, mineral-rich core that speaks to its authentic terroir. The aromatic journey alone tells the story of sun-drenched agave fields and generations of meticulous craftsmanship.
- Upon tasting, Los Vecinos reveals its true complexity. The initial impression delivers a warming allspice character that dances on the tongue before gracefully transitioning to notes of perfectly roasted tropical fruits.
- The mid-palate experience continues, with tender young ginger adding subtle heat and complexity. Unexpected hints of green bell pepper provide a fascinating vegetal counterpoint that elevates this mezcal beyond the ordinary.
- Each small batch is traditionally crafted from hand-selected, mature Espadín agave, roasted in earthen pits, crushed by a tahona wheel, and double-distilled in copper pots to preserve the plant's intricate flavor profile. The result is a beautifully balanced spirit that can be savored neat or shine as the foundation for sophisticated cocktails.
Los Vecinos del Campo—meaning "neighbors of the field"—celebrates the community of master distillers who have perfected their craft over countless generations. With each sip, experience the authentic taste of Oaxaca and the passion of its people.

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.
