La Escondida Mezcal Blanco 700ml

What if we told you that Mezcal has survived until now thanks to women? Mezcal production in Mexico was banned by the Spanish crown for almost 100 years in the early 18th century. However, local producers resisted and continued to produce Mezcal in the beautiful mountains of Oaxaca. Among them were some brave women who sold their Mezcal illegally from town to town, risking their own lives in the process. The brand La Escondida, meaning “the hidden lady”, was inspired by a local legend and created in honor of those women who have kept the tradition alive from then until now.

Traditional methods produce earthy, smoky notes on the nose, while its smooth and balanced flavor, robustly absorbed from cooked agave, provides a long finish which is both strong and pleasant.
