Erstwhile is a mezcal company that puts people first. They promote fair trade, autonomy and job creation among many other pursuits. For these mezcaleros, it's the first time selling their mezcal outside the local scene.

From The Silerio Garcia Luis family. Smoke takes a back seat. Almost sweet up front, certainly spicy and savory. Dry finish. Very enjoyable and reasonably priced. Dare we say cookie dough and butter?
