Koch El Espadin San Baltazar Mezcal 70 cl

Mezcal is obtained through distillation of previously fermented sugars agaves. Its development is a complex process, transmitted from generation to generation empirically and consists of six major steps: planting, harvesting, cooking, grinding, fermentation and distillation. The terroir is understood as defined geographical space defined by environmental factors (soil, altitude, climate, etc.) and cultural. For this reason Koch have focused on working with different people of Oaxaca to create identity of each zone in the association of certain flavours and aromas with specific locations. This 100% Espadin mezcal is from San Baltazar Guelavila region, double distilled, agave matured for 7 years. Directions Serve neat at room temperature in a copita, veladora or small clay cup — no ice, no chilling. Sip rather than shoot, and let it sit a few minutes to open up. Orange slices with sal de gusano or chilli salt are the traditional accompaniment. In cocktails the higher strength holds its shape in a Mezcal Margarita, Paloma, Mezcal Mule or Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and it works as the smoky half of a split-base build. Pairs well with grilled meats, mole negro, aged cheese, ceviche and anything citrus-forward. Manufacturer Contact Information 10-12 Brewery Road London, N7 9 NH
