Alipus San Juan Mezcal 750mL

Overview:
Alipus San Juan is a single-village, joven mezcal crafted in San Juan del Río, Oaxaca. Produced by the Juan family using time-honored artisanal methods, it embodies the true spirit of traditional mezcal-making while supporting small-scale local producers.

Agave & Terroir:
Made from 100% espadín agave grown in high-altitude, non-irrigated mountain fields. The mineral-rich, red soils and sun-drenched environment give the agave a bold yet refined flavor profile.

Production Style:
Roasted in underground earthen pits, crushed with a stone tahona, naturally fermented in open wooden vats, and double distilled in small copper stills over wood fires—every step emphasizes authenticity and craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fresh citrus and floral notes with subtle hints of coconut and herbs.

• Palate: Bright citrus zest, gentle smoke, touches of baking spice, and a peppery edge.

• Finish: Mineral-rich, balanced, and lightly smoky with lingering warmth.

Character & Experience:
Complex yet approachable, Alipus San Juan offers a vibrant, terroir-driven flavor that makes it equally enjoyable neat or as the foundation for premium cocktails. Awarded 94 points by Wine Enthusiast, it’s celebrated for its layered notes of charred pineapple, burnt orange peel, coconut, and cinnamon spice.
