Small-batch premium mezcal brand Mezcal Campante has launched in the United States.

Mezcal Campante is made from a unique blend of Espadín and Barril agave grown in the nutrient-dense valleys and mountainsides of Oaxaca, México, and is Denomination of Origin Protected (“DOP”).

“Our vision for Mezcal Campante is to bring to market a super smooth, easy-to-drink mezcal that is perfect whether it be it on the rocks, straight up, or in a cocktail,” says Shirley Leigh-Wood Oakes, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer, Sociedad Mezcalera LLC.

“Blending the traditions of México and Mezcal making with today’s culture, we have created a drink to celebrate all the small and major moments of life.”

Espadín and Barril, two of 14 varieties in the area, (both 100% Maguey agave) are harvested at peak perfection and the hearts, known as piñas, are placed in an underground oven built from river rocks.

This is then covered with Oaxaca’s fertile soil and left to burn undisturbed for days until caramelization occurs and thus the sweet aroma and rich flavor signatures of Mezcal Campante are born.

Mezcal Campante’s cooked piñas are ground by a tahona (a large stone wheel) pulled by two oxen. The mash is then transferred to large wooden vats made of Sabino (aka Mexican Cypress) and left to ferment until the exact moment to begin the double distillation process. 

The copper stills and the process result in the silvery smooth mezcal that is 40% ABV. Currently available in 750ml bottles, Mezcal Campante has a suggested retail price of $64.99.
