Mezcólogo Mezcal - This mezcal from San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca, delivers a beautifully balanced and unique tasting experience, showcasing the traditional craftsmanship and rich flavors of the Espadín agave.
Why does an "armadillo" represent Mezcólogo?
The armadillo represents sacred knowledge, great spiritual power, joy, firm decision-making, a positive yet strong character, and happiness. They are good agricultural producers, respecting plants, beings of other species, and are generous with families and communities. Armadillos need to live strong, emotional experiences.
Armadillo Symbolism:
In the Zapotec towns of Oaxaca, Mexico, the armadillo means "small with armor," and its scientific name is dasypodidae. The armadillo is named after the bony plates that protect its upper body. All other mammals with these characteristics are extinct today, making armadillos truly special.
In several Mexican states, they represent your nahual, the protective spirit acquired at birth, which will protect us for the rest of our lives according to the mysticism passed down from generation to generation.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Clear, with a bright and transparent hue.
- Aroma: The mezcal has a complex and inviting aroma, featuring notes of ripe tropical fruits, fresh herbs, and a subtle hint of smoke from the volcanic stone conical oven. The fragrant Espadín agave imparts a delicate sweetness and earthiness to the bouquet.
- Taste: On the palate, this mezcal offers a harmonious balance of flavors. The initial taste showcases the rich, smoky character from the volcanic stone oven, followed by the fruity and floral notes of the Espadín agave. The stone mill with tahona contributes to the mezcal's velvety texture, while the oakwood fermentation tank adds depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
- Finish: The mezcal finishes with a long, smooth, and warming sensation, leaving behind a pleasant aftertaste of smoke, earth, and a touch of sweetness. The copper still distillation and the two rounds of distillation contribute to the mezcal's clean and refined finish.

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.
