Madre Mezcal Ancestral Limited Release Ensamble 750ML - Ensamble is crafted from Espadin and Cuishe agave, producing mezcal with a distinctive flavor.
This Ancestral Limited Release revives a forgotten tradition of the García lineage, dating back to when Mezcal production faced legal restrictions in Oaxaca. It reintroduces the art of distilling in clay pots, a practice disregarded for over four decades. The unique distillation process includes using a distillation tube crafted from quiote, the flowering stalk of the agave plant, and replacing conventional metal tubes. During the 1960s and 1970s, Don Lencho, the father of Silverio García, ingeniously used hollowed-out quotes as an inventive measure to evade the military's seizure of his distillation equipment.
Indulging in this Ancestral Limited Release allows you to experience the exquisite flavors of Mezcal and relish a fragment of Mexican history from a bygone era. This exceptional tradition, cherished by the García lineage, originates from Rancho Blanco Güilá, Oaxaca, and is now being introduced in the United States. Immerse yourself in the allure of this meticulously crafted Mezcal, deeply rooted in a rich cultural heritage.

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.
