Nuestra Soledad Lachigui Miahuatlan Mezcal

Nuestra Soledad celebrates the distinctive terroir and traditions of six iconic distilling communities around the Valles Centrales region of Oaxaca. Each palenque crafts mezcal from 100% espadín agave, which offers a unique snapshot of the varied terroir of each village. Lachigui is set deep in the mountains of Miahuatlán, in Oaxaca’s southern district. A series of rough, switchback-laden roads lead up to the rancho palenque of Maestro Mezcalero “Tio” Pedro Vasquez. Vasquez distills a variety of both wild and cultivated agaves, and is best known for his highly coveted El Jolgorio line of wild agave mezcals. His espadín is bright and high-toned, with lively mint, green pepper, fresh-cut grass, wet earth, and hints of cedar and cigar box. Subtle fruit elements of green banana and fresh cherry pair with spicy acidity and a long, earthy finish.
