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: Astringent, Dry, Butter, Herbs (mint, pine), Flowery, Sweet, Stone and New Woods.

Aromas in the mouth: The first drink reveals its 100% artisan process with oak woods and mesquite. After you feel the agave caramelized notes, then flowery herbs tones of Tobalá Agave, which starts to turn off the alcohol power leaving a long back sweet taste of Espadín Agave.

Summary of Flavors: Artisan strong body, buttery, artringent, herbal and a sweet clean smoke.

Midleton, the brand name synonymous with the annual vintage release of Midleton Very Rare and with the limited releases of Midleton Single Pot Still Whiskeys, added its first permanent Single Pot Still Whiskey to its range in 2011.

Bearing the name of the celebrated second generation Midleton Master Distiller, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy represents a selection of pot still whiskeys which have been matured exclusively in American bourbon barrels with a subtle contribution from a pot still distillate which has matured in an unseasoned American barrel.

This pinnacle of the Single Pot Still range, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy, marked the first time since John Jameson that an Irish Distillers product had been named after a Master Distiller. Single Pot Still whiskey is unique to Ireland in general and to the Midleton Distillery, Co. Cork, in particular, and is regarded as the quintessential style of Irish whiskey. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills, Pot Still whiskeys are characterised by full, complex flavours and a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel.

As a tribute to the man who is inextricably linked to the Midleton distillery and who has more than anyone, shaped the renowned Midleton style, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy displays a distinctive Pot Still complexity yet is refined and poised on the finish.

With over 30 illustrious awards received to date, this is a whiskey that truly embodies its name. In 2016 it was named the Best Irish Blended Pot Still Whiskey at The Irish Whiskey Awards

THE LOST ART OF TEQUILA MAKING

CAZCANES WATER
Cazcanes sources natural artesian water for our tequila. The water starts off as rain or snow high up on the pristine peaks of the San Pedro de los Landeros mountains. It slowly travels through natural minerals deep within the volcanic mountains before emerging at the Navichi springs.

NATURAL YEAST FERMENTATION
The ‘piñas’ are then cooked, and crushed to extract and concentrate their flavors.  Next comes fermentation using natural, wild yeast, and then distillation in our alembic stills.

CAZCANES AGAVE
Hand-selected Weber Blue Lowland (Tequila Valley) Agave grown in Volcanic Tufa Soil at 4000-6000 ft is harvested during peak sugar levels to deliver a distinct Cazcanes taste.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL
At Cazcanes Tequila, we oversee every step of the process with tremendous Attention to detail to help create a tequila that stands above all the rest.
