Maker Notes

Mezcal UNION is dedicated to preserving the traditional craft of distilling and promoting socio-economic growth among local communities by bringing together artisanal distilleries and agave farmers. Our mezcal is a meticulously handcrafted blend of agave Espadín and the rare Tobal wild agave, carefully produced and bottled in Oaxaca, Mexico. It boasts a delightful combination of flavors and aromas including a subtle smokiness, notes of butter, mint, cinnamon, mango, herbs, and minerals.

To ensure the sustainability of our mezcal production, we are actively engaged in replanting both species of agave used in our blend. While it takes time for agave to mature, our ultimate aim is to exclusively use agaves that we have replanted, as soon as nature allows. We employ sustainable farming practices to actively prevent soil erosion, ensuring the long-term health of the land and agave crops.

Tasting notes: Sweet, Fruity (pear, apple), Smoked, Herbs (mint, spearmint), Wet Earth and Wood.

Aromas in the mouth: Initially, it reveals its production process in an artisanal way with oak firewood. Afterward, sweet and fruity notes of the espadin agave are felt. Earthy, herbal and citrus notes of the agave cirial are also perceived.

Summary of Flavors: Pear, Apple, Smoked, Agave Espadín and Cirial and Herbs

In the history of Champagne, wines that were blended for greater sweetness were customarily described as « Rich ». In Russia, consumers would add sugar to their champagne, thus adding a personal touch to their wine. The Rich blend is comprised of Pinot Noir (45%), the main pillar of Veuve Clicquot’s winemaking, which gives the champagne its fundamental structure. The large part of Meunier (40%) provides roundness to the blend and Chardonnay (15%) completes it with extra freshness. For Rich Rosé, the blend is completed with 15% Pinot Noir red wine. Rich’s uniqueness is in its dosage of 60 g/L, which enhances the blend’s aromas. As Veuve Clicquot’s Cellar Master shares, “Sugar in champagne is like spices in a recipe: used correctly it can bring out specific aromas and play with flavors.

Centuries ago, in pre-hispanic Mexico a lightning bolt struck the gem (or heart) of the maguey plant, roasting and fermenting its sugars, and out poured the sacred and mystical sap known today as Mezcal. Hundreds of years later, artist-alchemist duo AdrinAdrina and Elliott Coon, both daughters of bohemian bootleggers, started brewing their own spirits and infusing elixirs. Together, the duo are powered by the belief that a positive lifestyle elevates consciousnessand thus GEM&BOLT was born.

Handcrafted by fourth generation Maestro Mezcaleros, GEM&BOLT is a small batch, artisanal Mezcal produced using traditional methods with no artificial yeast or chemicals. Using mature (8 to 10 yr) 100% Espadin Agave from the high lands of Oaxaca, GEM&BOLT is a clean spirit, first distilled in small copper stills and then rested (not aged) in oak barrels for 3 to 6 months prior to its second distillation with the traditional Mexican herb Damiana giving GEM&BOLT a smooth (less smokey) profile with subtle herbal notes.
