1. Mezcal by Agave Type
Espadin is the most cultivated agave, prized for its adaptability and balanced flavor profile. Its versatility makes it ideal for both mezcal beginners and seasoned enthusiasts. Its faster growth cycle compared to wild agaves ensures accessibility without compromising quality. Here is what we have in this category: Zomoz Mezcal Espadin Joven, Vago Mezcal Espadin By Joel Barriga, Quiereme Mucho Espadin Mezcal, Madre Mezcal and many more.
It is often found in remote, mountainous regions, which gives it a unique mineral complexity. Its small size means each batch requires more plants, leading to limited artisanal releases. Some of them are: Xicaru Tobala Artsnal Mezcal, Dos Hombres Mezcal Artesanal Joven Tobala, El Jolgorio Tobala Mezcal, etc.
Tepextate agave takes 25-30 years to mature, resulting in one of the most complex mezcals available. Its low herbal and pepper notes reflect its long growth cycle, making it a top choice for collectors seeking rare, mature expressions.
This type grows vertically like a palm tree, with its heart (piña) above ground, which creates a drier, woody character in the mezcal.
Pechuga mezcal undergoes a third distillation infused with seasonal fruits, herbs, and sometimes a raw protein, like turkey or chicken breast, which balances the intensity with a zesty complexity. It was traditionally used in celebrations for a memorable tasting experience.
Aged for up to 12 months in oak barrels, giving it a golden hue and enhancing its smoothness. This aging process rounds out the mezcal's smokiness with notes of vanilla and caramel while keeping a touch of agave essence intact. Our collection includes renowned bottles like Zignum Reposado Mezcal, Xicaru Reposado Mezcal, and Sombra Mezcal Artesanal Reposado, and more.
This type of Mezcal spends over a year in barrels, absorbing deep, luxurious flavors like dark chocolate, dried fruit, and baking spices. This extended aging results in a sipping spirit often compared to fine whiskey or cognac.
It is also known as "young" mezcal. It captures the rawest expression of the agave with no barrel aging, emphasizing the plant's true character. It is crisp, smoky, and vegetal and perfect for experiencing mezcal’s unfiltered essence. In this collection, we have around 30 products. Some of them include Zomoz Mezcal Espadin Joven, Yola Mezcal Artesanal Joven, Xicala Joven Mezcal, Union Uno Mezcal Joven.

The Art of Mezcal Tequila Tasting
Tips For Tasting Mezcal Tequila Like A Pro
1. Choose the Right Glass: Start by picking the right glass. A small, tulip-shaped glass or a snifter glass works best because it helps concentrate the aromas. Avoid wide, flat glasses as they won’t trap the scents as effectively. This is important because Mezcal Tequila has a lot of subtle aromas you’ll want to enjoy.
2. Pour a Small Amount: Pour just a small amount (about 1 to 2 ounces). You don’t need much to taste the full flavor because Mezcal Tequila is strong, so a little goes a long way.
3. Look at the Color: Hold your glass up to the light and observe the color of the Mezcal Tequila. Most Mezcal is clear, but some may have a golden or amber tint from aging. The color of a Mezcal can give you clues about its flavor. Clear Mezcal often tastes fresher, while darker Mezcal might have deeper, richer flavors due to aging.
4. Smell the Mezcal: Before tasting, take a deep breath and smell the Mezcal Tequila. The scent is just as important as the taste, and it helps you understand what to expect. Mezcal often has a smoky aroma, but you might also notice fruity, floral, or spicy notes.
5. Take a Sip and Let It Sit: Take a small sip and let the Mezcal Tequila sit on your tongue for a moment. Notice the texture and flavor—does it feel smooth or spicy? The longer you let it sit, the more flavors you’ll pick up.
6. Savor the Aftertaste: After swallowing, pay attention to the aftertaste. Some Mezcals have a long finish that lingers, while others might fade quickly. This lingering flavor tells you a lot about the quality of the Mezcal Tequila.
Food Pairings with Mezcal Tequila
1. Tacos and Grilled Meats: Try it with tacos filled with grilled steak, pork, or even mushrooms for a tasty combination. The sweetness from the meat balances out the sharpness of the Mezcal Tequila.
2. Spicy Foods: Mezcal balances spicy dishes really well. You can enjoy it with foods like spicy chicken wings, hot salsas, or dishes with chili peppers.
3. Seafood: Do not miss this combination of seafood and Mezcal. Try it with ceviche, grilled shrimp, or even fish tacos. The freshness of the seafood contrasts with mezcal’s smoky notes, creating a light yet flavorful combo.
4. Cheese and Charcuterie Boards: Mezcal loves rich, creamy cheeses like goat cheese, blue cheese, and aged cheddar. Add some cured meats like chorizo or prosciutto for a perfect party pairing. The saltiness and creaminess create the best combo with Mexcal.
5. Chocolate and Desserts: Dark chocolate and mezcal? Yes, please! The bitter notes of dark chocolate match mezcal's earthy flavors beautifully. You can also try it with desserts like flan or chocolate lava cake for a sweet contrast.
6. Citrus and Tropical Fruits: Sip it with fresh fruits like oranges, pineapple, and mango. Squeeze a bit of lime over your dish, or have a fruit platter on the side to keep things fresh and vibrant.
Upgrade your cocktail collection, savor it neat, or gift it to someone special—whatever your choice, Liquor Geeks makes it easy for you. Browse our collection today and bring home the essence of Mexico in every bottle!
