A premium mezcal brand that originates from the Oaxaca region of Mexico and is known for its high-quality and carefully crafted mezcal. The Espadin Tobala Joven mezcal is made from a blend of two types of agave plants, the Espadin and Tobala. The Espadin is the most commonly used agave plant for mezcal, while the Tobala is a rarer and more prized variety.

The production of 400 Conejos Espadin Tobala Joven mezcal is a labor-intensive process that involves harvesting the agave plants, roasting them in an underground pit, crushing them to extract their juice, fermenting the juice, and distilling it in copper pot stills. The resulting mezcal is then bottled and labeled by hand.

In terms of taste, 400 Conejos Espadin Tobala Joven mezcal has a complex and nuanced flavor profile. It is characterized by notes of smoke, citrus, and earthy tones, with a smooth and slightly sweet finish. It is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, and pairs well with spicy and savory foods.

A premium mezcal that is handcrafted in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. The mezcal is made from agave Espadin, which is harvested by hand and roasted in an underground pit oven, or "palenque," using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Once the agave is roasted, it is crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, which is a large stone wheel that is used to extract the juice from the agave fibers. The juice is then fermented in open-air vats using wild yeast, which gives the mezcal its unique flavor profile.

Del Maguey San Jose Rio Minas Mezcal has a smoky, complex flavor profile that is typical of artisanal mezcal. On the nose, there are notes of roasted agave, smoke, and citrus, as well as hints of vanilla and caramel. The palate is bold and smoky, with flavors of charred wood, black pepper, and a touch of sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with a pleasant smokiness that lingers on the tongue.

This mezcal is bottled at 48% ABV, which gives it a powerful, intense flavor that is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the flavors. It is a sipping mezcal that is meant to be enjoyed slowly, allowing the flavors to develop and evolve over time.

This mezcal is made using traditional production methods that have been passed down through generations of mezcaleros, or mezcal makers, in the region.

The name "pechuga" comes from the Spanish word for "breast," as this type of mezcal is traditionally made by hanging a raw chicken breast above the distillation pot during the final distillation. The steam from the cooking mezcal infuses the chicken breast with flavor, which is then distilled along with the mezcal to create a unique and complex flavor profile.

Don Mateo De la Sierra Pechuga Mezcal is made from 100% agave Espadín, which is cooked in an underground pit oven and then crushed using a traditional stone mill. The resulting juice is fermented using naturally occurring yeasts before being distilled twice in copper alembic stills. During the final distillation, the chicken breast is hung above the still to infuse the mezcal with its unique flavor.

The nose of Don Mateo De la Sierra Pechuga Mezcal is rich and complex, with notes of cooked agave, smoke, and roasted meat, as well as a hint of fruit and spice. On the palate, the mezcal is smooth and full-bodied, with flavors of caramel, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness that lingers on the finish.

Don Mateo De la Sierra Pechuga Mezcal is best enjoyed neat or in cocktails, where its complex flavor profile can be fully appreciated. It is a premium mezcal that is highly sought after by mezcal enthusiasts and collectors around the world, and is a testament to the rich tradition and craftsmanship of mezcal production in Oaxaca.

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.

La Leyenda Mazcal Reposado is a renowned and distinguished spirit, deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Mexico's mescal-producing regions. Crafted with expertise and passion, this exquisite reposado mezcal embodies the essence of the agave plant, carefully nurtured and distilled to perfection. La Leyenda, which translates to "The Legend" in English, lives up to its name by delivering a memorable and authentic mescal experience that captivates the senses.

The journey of La Leyenda Mazcal Reposado begins with the meticulous selection of mature agave plants, which are hand-harvested by skilled jimadors who have honed their craft over generations. These prized agaves, harvested at the peak of ripeness, are then roasted in traditional underground ovens for several days. This cooking process imbues the mescal with distinctive smoky aromas, evoking the essence of the rugged Mexican landscape.

Following roasting, the agaves are crushed using a stone tahona, an ancient method that pays homage to the past. The resulting mash is then fermented in wooden vats using natural airborne yeasts, a process that allows the flavors of the agave to develop naturally and retain their authenticity.

After fermentation, the mescal undergoes a double distillation process in copper alembic stills. This careful distillation ensures that only the most refined and purest expressions of the agave's character make it into the final product.

La Leyenda Mazcal Reposado is further enhanced by its aging process, which sets it apart from its unaged counterparts. The reposado designation signifies that this mescal has been matured in oak barrels for a minimum of six months, a period that allows the spirit to develop a remarkable complexity while retaining its earthy and smoky foundation.

Raicilla, a type of Mezcal originating from Jalisco with a history of over 600 years, found its unique identity in the 1780s. Crafters cleverly renamed their mezcal to Raicilla to avoid a tax enforced by the Spanish crown, successfully convincing tax collectors of its distinction. Despite its deep roots, Raicilla remains relatively unknown, largely overshadowed by the global fame of tequila, particularly in Jalisco. Yet, Jalisco boasts a remarkable variety of agave species and diverse landscapes, contributing to Raicilla's diverse flavors and historical depth. La Venenosa Raicilla, founded by chef Esteban Morales in 2011, aims to unveil these hidden gems globally. Esteban journeyed across Jalisco, curating a collection of six unique Raicillas crafted by skilled distillers, each employing traditional techniques and sourced from different regions, showcasing the varied agave types and production methods.

Siete Misterios Arroqueño Mezcal is a premium artisanal spirit crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico, renowned for its traditional production methods and the use of wild Arroqueño agave. Hand-harvested and roasted in earthen pits, this mezcal offers a rich, smoky flavor with hints of citrus, spice, and herbal notes. Twice-distilled by master mezcaleros, each bottle reflects the essence of Oaxacan tradition and the artistry of its creators, making it a cherished choice for aficionados of fine spirits.

Sourced from the deserts of San Luis Potosí, our 14 year old Salmiana is cooked in a 200 year old oven made from brick layered upon stone for 7 days using steam seeping through Sabine wood floors. This process allows our mezcal to maintain the truest flavor profiles of a ripe Salmiana agave. 

After 7 days of gradually applied heat, our Salmiana begins the maceration with a Roman concrete double tahona. Our juices then flow via copper grates into a larger pit, finishing the maceration process with a large single tahona stone for the perfect extraction. The aguamiel then flows through copper grates into our open air vats where we use natural fermentation ignited with pulque from the very same Salmiana. After 3 full days, we then distill through our 200 year old copper still, twice. 

A bright, clean and vegetal nose with robust aromas of crisp green bell pepper, fresh cut grass and lemon peel. Upon your first sip, we awaken your palate with a hint of olive and fresh Serrano pepper, cooked Salmiana, and a distinct creamy mouthfeel, which then finishes with lemon zest, green poblano pepper, and an elegance that lingers gracefully.

Experience the essence of lush wilderness with Mexicano—notes of fresh green bananas and clean-cut flowers. Infused with hints of citrus, crispy celery, and ripe green banana, this elixir is approachable, tart, and bright.

With a rich history of mezcal production dating back to the 20th century, the Moreno family's passion was reignited by Carlos Moreno in 2009. Teaming up with the fifth-generation master mezcalero, Pedro Hernandez, they founded Koch El Mezcal de Oaxaca with the mission of preserving the essence of mezcal culture. The result is an exceptional and reasonably priced artisanal mezcal available in the Australian market. They've successfully brought together over 15 communities and 50 mezcal-producing families into their collective. As with all handcrafted products, each batch may exhibit slight variations. Koch El Espadin is crafted using ancestral methods that prohibit the use of metal tools, with spontaneous outdoor fermentation in sabino wood tubs and distillation through clay pot stills (Olla de Barro). The resulting product is unparalleled, representing the most traditional approach to mezcal production. It offers an aroma characterized by clay and minerality, along with hints of peach and other fruits, resulting in a creamy texture. The taste profile features sweet, fruity notes with a subtle hint of coconut, followed by herbal and spicy undertones. To fully savor this mezcal, allow it to breathe in the glass before indulging slowly.
