Bandida Reposado Mezcal Artesanal Ultra Premium - 4th Generation Maestro Mezcalero 10-Year Aged Organic Premium Mezcal, American Oak Barrel Rested, Santiago Matatlán Oaxaca Mexico, 40% ABV 70cl

Product Description IWSC 2025 Gold Medal Winner (95%) - Bandida Reposado Ultra Premium won Gold at the International Wine & Spirits Competition 2025 with a 95% score from Europe's finest judges. Bandida Reposado Ultra Premium represents the pinnacle of artisanal mezcal craftsmanship, created by a 4th generation Maestro Mezcalero in Santiago Matatlán, the heart of Oaxaca's mezcal country. This ultra-premium expression begins with 100% organic Espadín agave, cultivated for 10 years in volcanic soils without herbicides or fertilisers. The production honours centuries-old traditions: agaves are cooked in ancient volcanic rock ovens heated by Guamuchil wood, crushed using a 70-year-old Tahona wheel passed down through generations, and fermented with 100% wild microbes. The extended 14-hour distillation (rather than typical 8 hours) creates exceptional depth and complexity. Following distillation, this mezcal rests for 6 months in carefully selected American White Oak barrels, refined over 2 years to achieve perfect balance. This ageing enhances the agave's natural character whilst maintaining authentic terroir. Extensively validated through 50+ blind tastings with suppliers, local Oaxacans, master distillers, and professional bar teams across Mexico City, earning unanimous acclaim. The distinctive bottle, shaped like an artisanal agave piña, features triple-fired ceramic construction with glass interior lining for zero ceramic contact and perfect flavour preservation. Heavy ZAMAC metal lid (no plastic) and custom proprietary cork ensure airtight freshness. Real gold detailing on the base depicts Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of agave, honouring mezcal's ancient heritage. Zero additives, preservatives, sugars, or carbohydrates. Sustainable production with no deforestation. Pure Mexican craftsmanship. Manufacturer Contact Information The Retreat, 406 Roding Ln S, Woodford Green, Essex, England, IG8 8EY
