Monte Alban Mezcal is named for the ancient mountaintop settlement in Oaxaca, Mexico — a site that stood as an influential Zapotec center in Mesoamerica for nearly a thousand years. It was here that Spanish conquistadors first discovered the local fermented agave drink called pulque, from which mezcal was born. Crafted from 100% Espadín agave sourced from Oaxaca — the heartland of mezcal — Monte Alban delivers a moderately smoky, salty character with a mildly fruity finish. Bottled at 40% ABV.
