Climbing the rugged dirt roads high above San Dionisio Ocotepec, we discover the remote village of Las Milpas, a true example that “you don’t find Mezcal, Mezcal finds you.” Here, nestled among the cornfields overlooking rolling pastures, lies the palenque of Anastacio Cruz Antonio and his sons Rigoberto, Abel and Pedro.
Their Single Village expression is crafted by roasting ripe agave Espadin in an earthen horno carved into the granite hillside. Roasted agave is milled using a horse-drawn molino and fermented using only ambient microbes and yeasts in open-air wooden fermentation tanks and twice distilled in small copper stills.
Las Milpas offers a nose of slate and minerals, balanced by tropical fruit and citrus notes, with rose petal florals, lavender, tarragon, and pea shoots, that evolves into a long and pleasantly dry finish.
This product is a unique Mezcal. It’s made by roasting agave in a special way and has a complex flavor profile. When enjoying it, simply pour it into a glass and savor the aroma and taste. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid overexposure to heat or extreme cold. And don’t mix it with other strong spirits in a way that might overpower its delicate flavors.
