ZOMOZ Espadin Joven Mezcal Artesanal
Ships from San Diego, California
ZOMOZ IS FROM SANTIAGO MATATLÁN, OAXACA, IN THE HEART OF THE INDIGENOUS ZAPOTEC REGION NEAR OAXACA CITY, THE STATE'S CAPITAL. HAND-CRAFTED BY FOURTH GENERATION MAESTRA MEZCALERA, ISABEL SANTIAGO AT HER FAMILY'S ORGANIC AGAVE PLANTATION AND PALENQUE. ZOMOZ IS MADE FROM TWO SIMPLE INGREDIENTS: ORGANIC ESPADIN AND PURE SPRING WATER. HONORING SACRED, ARTISANAL TECHNIQUES, THE AGAVE IS COOKED UNDERGROUND IN A CONICAL STONE OVEN FUELED BY ETHICALLY-SOURCED SUSTAINABLE WOOD. AFTER ROASTING, THE AGAVE HEARTS, CALLED "PINAS," ARE CRUSHED USING A TRADITIONAL STONE WHEEL "TAHONA," THEN FERMENTED IN OPEN PINE VATS CALLED "TINAS." TO ACHIEVE THE PURE, SMOOTH ZOMOZ FINISH, THE MEZCAL IS DISTILLED TWICE IN TRADITIONAL COPPER POT STILLS THEN PASSED THROUGH A PROPRIETARY DOUBLE FILTRATION SYSTEM BEFORE IT IS ULTIMATELY BOTTLED.
