Espadín Agave

In the mountains near San Juan and San Luis del Rio near Oaxaca, we harvest Espadín agave at elevations up to 8,000 feet. We believe that elevation is key and have found the higher we go in the Sierra, the more elegant the resultant spirit. Sombra owns and operates its own Palenque (distillery), which provides consistent quality and eco-friendly production methods. Each step of production, from fermentation to distillation, has been reimagined to reduce its environmental impact.

Wine Barrel Aged

Barrels sourced from the historic and renowned Château Léoville Poyferré, a second growth wine estate in St Julien, France, are filled with Sombra's award-winning Joven mezcal and aged for up to six-months. The Limousin oak wine barrels soften the mezcal while enhancing its delicate botanical balance, bringing through a light Rosé color.

Sombra is an award-winning mezcal that is dedicated to sustainable and environmentally friendly production. Sombra Mezcal is made from 100% organic Espadin Agave. After growing up to 10 years, the hearts are harvested and roasted for 2 days over oak wood fires that heat cooking stones in a stone-lined pit. The roasted agaves are then crushed by a limestone tahona, fermented with only native yeast, and distilled in copper stills to create a refined, smooth and balanced Mezcal at the traditional strength of 90-proof.

Sombra owns and operates its own distillery; resulting in consistently delicious mezcal created using sustainabile production methods.

2016 - Double Gold / San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Sombra Ensamble is a limited-edition blend of mezcals distilled from wild Tepeztate and Tobal agaves harvested from high in the Oaxacan Sierra. Recognizing wild and rare precious resources, only 2,000 bottles were created. This special blend of Ensamble Mezcal is made from 61% Tepeztate, part of the agave Marmorata family. The elusive Tepeztate can take as much as 25 years to mature in the wild, and grows primarily on the sides of steep rocky cliffs. Because of its wild and rare nature we must take care not to overharvest as to ensure the future of this beautiful plant. Tobala agave makes up 39% of Ensamble and is part of the agave Potatorum family. Tobala grows in the wild at high altitudes for 12-15 years, and because of its relatively small size yields intensely aromatic but extremely limited quantities of mezcal. Unlike most other agave, Tobala can grow from seed and Sombra has taken care to plant 20,000 Tobala agave this year.
