Mezcal

Mezcal is one of the world’s most expressive and artisanal spirits—crafted from a wide range of agave species and distilled using time-honored techniques that connect each bottle to the land it comes from. Unlike its more commercial cousin tequila, mezcal celebrates regional diversity, small-scale production, and bold character.

At The Bourbon Concierge, our Mezcal collection highlights producers who honor tradition while delivering exceptional quality. From smoky and savory to floral and fruit-driven, these bottles represent a spectrum of mezcal’s many flavors—each shaped by agave type, elevation, roasting methods, and the vision of the mezcalero.

What Defines Mezcal?

Mezcal is typically produced in small palenques (distilleries) across Mexico, most notably in Oaxaca, though other states like Durango, Guerrero, and Michoacán also produce remarkable spirits.

Key factors that shape the flavor:

• Agave varietal – Espadín is the most common, but wild agaves like Tobalá, Madrecuixe, and Tepeztate produce rare, high-toned mezcals with distinctive profiles.
• Production method – Agave hearts are roasted in underground pits, fermented in open-air vats, and distilled in small copper or clay stills.
• Hand of the maker – No two batches are exactly alike; every mezcalero imparts their own touch.

Tasting notes vary by bottle, but you’ll often encounter:

• Smoke, roasted agave, and dried herbs
• Citrus peel, white pepper, and minerality
• Earth, stone fruit, and a long, clean finish
