Mezcal El Occidental Oaxaca
Produced in Mexico’s renowned Oaxaca region, El Occidental is crafted from 100% organic agave Espadín. Oaxaca is celebrated as the birthplace of mezcal, where traditional methods have been preserved for generations. This artisanal spirit reflects the heritage of highland Zimatlán de Álvarez, a community over 2,400 m above sea level, where craftsmanship and terroir define the character of each batch.
Mezcal Description
This mezcal pours crystal clear, with a bright, silvery sheen in the glass. On the nose, it reveals expressive herbal and floral aromas with hints of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied, marked by notes of tobacco, cocoa, leather, and subtle vanilla, balanced by a delicate minerality and a lightly salty edge. The finish is smooth, smoky, and persistent, showcasing the spirit’s complexity and authenticity.
Food Pairing
Its smoky richness pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted lamb, or spiced pork tacos. For a vegetarian option, it complements roasted mushrooms or smoky chipotle dishes.
