ABOUT TOMAS ARTESANAL CRAFT AGAVE SPIRITS

Tomas Artesanal mezcal expressions are hand-crafted, small-batch agave spirits.  We are recognized for our unique mezcals, approachable flavor profiles, and innovative blending.

We produce agave expressions with a focus on quality and authenticity, and with a commitment to ‘honor the spirit,’ not just the spirit in the bottle, but the Spirit of Mexico and Mezcal.

The birthplace of Tomas Artesanal, Santa Ana del Rio is a small village located in an isolated Oaxaca valley, with a rich history of artisans and mezcaleros. The ‘terroir’ of the area is a special combination of geography, geology, and climate that combine to produce distinct and delicious mezcal.  The abundant wild fruit trees interact with the wild yeast that ferments our agave mash, giving our mezcal sweet and savory notes that complement the roasted agave flavors.

Tomas Artesanal has four expressions, our Espadin and Tepeztate are hand-crafted in Santa Ana Del Rio, Oaxaca.  Tomas Artesanal Raicilla is from the Sierra Occidental of Jalisco. Finally, the Reserva, winner of three gold medals, is an original cold blend ensemble of joven espadin and añejo tequilana mezcals.

Reserva

Winner of three gold medals, savory and sophisticated, our Reserva is a special blend of Mezcal Artesanal Joven Agave Angustifolio (Espadin) and Mezcal Anejo Tequilana (Maguey Azul).

Tomas Artesanal Mezcal Reserva is said to be “abocado con madera,” which means that our mezcal is lightly “touched with wood,” resulting in a remarkably savory and truly unique flavor profile.

We took this distinctive blending approach because we found that in most aged mezcal the wood elements often overpower the flavors and qualities that make agave spirits special. In creating this new type of mezcal, we carefully combine small batch joven espadin and anejo tequilana mezcal, the latter aged in oak cabernet barrels for over one year. Smooth, complex yet well-balanced, this is a mezcal that is best sipped and savored neat or enjoyed poured over a single ice ball.

Mildly Smoky

Tomas Artesanal traditional mezcal is a handcrafted spirit made with 100% agave Espadin. Our artisanal espadin mezcal comes from Santa Ana del Rio, a remote village 50 miles from Oaxaca City. There are about 500 inhabitants of this small community, and most are involved in the production of agave and mezcal.

The agave is traditionally cooked in an earthen pit oven, milled by horse-drawn stone tahona, and double distilled in a copper still.

Mildly smoky, full-bodied, fruity, and agave-forward.  Distilled in Santa Ana del Rio, Oaxaca.
