Additional Info: 

Produced in Oaxaca by Mezcalero Cutberto Santiago and his family. This mezcal is made from Espadin agave that is cooked for 5 days in a basalt lined pit oven and fermented for 4 days in open top in wood tanks then twice distilled. This is a excellent mezcal with notes of kiwi, lemon zest, white pepper and a soft smoke on the palate.  Definitely recommend for Paloma!
