Mal Bien Zacate Limón Lucio Morales Lopez (200ml)
Produced by Lucio Morales Lopez in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca, this unique expression is a celebrated entry in the Mal Bien lineup. Known as a "destilado con," this spirit is crafted by macerating fresh Zacate Limón (lemongrass) in the agave spirit before its final distillation. The result is a vibrant, aromatic profile that preserves the soul of the agave while introducing a bright, botanical clarity.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: An immediate burst of fresh lemongrass and kaffir lime leaf dominates the nose. Beneath the citrus forward notes lies the sweet, comforting scent of roasted agave and a hint of wet stone.
- Palate: The entry is silky and intensely flavorful. The bright, herbal zing of the lemongrass integrates perfectly with the natural sweetness of the cooked agave. You may notice subtle notes of ginger, lemon verbena, and a faint tropical fruit undertone.
- Finish: The finish is crisp and incredibly refreshing. It leaves a clean, citrusy tingle on the palate with a very soft, integrated smoke that never overpowers the botanical notes.
Production and Format
Lucio Morales Lopez utilizes traditional pit roasting and tahona crushing for the base agave before the infusion process. The addition of local lemongrass during the second distillation ensures the essential oils are captured perfectly. This 200ml format is a versatile choice, whether you are enjoying it neat as a palate cleanser or looking to elevate a high-end cocktail with a concentrated burst of citrus and agave.

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.
