Wild Common Mezcal Ensamble: A Masterful Harmony of Artistry and Terroir
Crafted by the skilled hands of Maestro Mezcalero Joel Velasco, Wild Common Mezcal Ensamble is a true masterpiece that pays homage to the rich traditions of Oaxaca while showcasing the region's distinctive terroir. This exceptional mezcal is a harmonious blend of mature Espadín and Tobalá agave, meticulously selected from Velasco's community in San Luis Del Rio.
The journey begins with the roasting process, where the agave piñas are carefully cooked in an earthen pit, allowing the natural sugars to caramelize and develop their rich, complex flavors. The extraction process combines the traditional methods of a stone tahona, ensuring that every ounce of the agave's essence is captured.
The fermentation process is equally meticulous, utilizing open-air pine vats to nurture the natural fermentation, resulting in a truly unique and flavorful wash. And in a testament to Velasco's expertise, this mezcal is distilled twice in small stainless steel and copper pot stills, preserving the delicate nuances and depth of flavor.
On the palate, Wild Common Mezcal Ensamble is a revelation – a harmonious symphony of flavors and aromas that transport you to the heart of Oaxaca. The base of Espadín agave brings an initial clean mouthfeel, with notes of green citrus, fresh herbs, and a hint of coconut that tantalize the senses. The Tobalá agave then takes center stage, imparting a warm, buttery flavor, complemented by delicate floral notes and a gentle, sweet finish that lingers on the palate.
Whether you're a mezcal aficionado seeking an authentic expression of terroir or a curious explorer venturing into the world of artisanal spirits, Wild Common Mezcal Ensamble delivers an unparalleled experience. Its approachable yet wonderfully complex character showcases the versatility of mezcal while honoring the artisanal traditions that have been passed down through generations.
Embrace the harmony of artistry and terroir, a mezcal that dares to be different while paying homage to the rich heritage of Oaxaca. Savor the warmth, the depth, and the unapologetic character of Wild Common Mezcal Ensamble, and experience the pinnacle of mezcal craftsmanship.

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.
