Not just another Mezcal
Mezcal Local® is a perfect midpoint. Its creators established a flavor that is accessible for new mezcal consumers, yet sophisticated to seduce the most demanding palates. It is a pechuga type mezcal, which means that during the distillation process the responsible Maestro Mezcalero, Leonel Hernández, uses the heart of the agave, as well as a combination of fruits. The heart of the agave is a natural purifier, at the same time it adds its distinctive tones to make a premium spirit.
And to top things off: Every bottle is handcrafted, which makes every single one of them unique.
So far, Mezcal Local® was mostly being sold only by top liquor distributors in Mexico, with a strong presence in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Bajío and Riviera Maya: the top 4 selling regions in Mexico. But now:
Dr. Sours is bringing Mezcal Local to Europe.
"Para todo mal MEZCAL, y para todo bien también"
How is Mezcal Local® produced?
Mezcal Local®'s Espadin agave cultivation in Oaxaca lasts 10 years and the soil, the temperature and the rainfall are conditions that will determine the first tinges of flavor. When the plant arrives to its maturity, the plants' leaves are removed leaving the agave hearts bare and uncovered. The agave heart is cooked underground with selected wood and river rocks, reaching temperatures above 800°C. The oven is fully sealed for 72 hours. Once cooked, the agave is cut and transferred to the Egyptian mill where the pulp and fiber are extracted ("Grinding"). The crushed agave is placed in wooden barrels for 10 days, the required time for the plant sugars to concentrate ("Fermentation"). The liquid is then transferred to copper stills, where a combination of selected Mezcal Local® fruits is added. For higher purity, the product is distilled twice.
