Overview:
Alipus San Juan is a single-village, joven mezcal crafted in San Juan del Río, Oaxaca. Produced by the Juan family using time-honored artisanal methods, it embodies the true spirit of traditional mezcal-making while supporting small-scale local producers.
Agave & Terroir:
Made from 100% espadín agave grown in high-altitude, non-irrigated mountain fields. The mineral-rich, red soils and sun-drenched environment give the agave a bold yet refined flavor profile.
Production Style:
Roasted in underground earthen pits, crushed with a stone tahona, naturally fermented in open wooden vats, and double distilled in small copper stills over wood fires—every step emphasizes authenticity and craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Fresh citrus and floral notes with subtle hints of coconut and herbs.
-
Palate: Bright citrus zest, gentle smoke, touches of baking spice, and a peppery edge.
-
Finish: Mineral-rich, balanced, and lightly smoky with lingering warmth.
Character & Experience:
Complex yet approachable, Alipus San Juan offers a vibrant, terroir-driven flavor that makes it equally enjoyable neat or as the foundation for premium cocktails.
