San Luis Del Rio is produced by 100% Agave Espadin of the terroir of San Luis del Rio by Maestro Mezcalero Don Gregorio in the palanque del Rio. The particular Terroir of San Luis del Rio produces sexy Mezcal, with unusual notes of lemon zest and black pepper. On the palate the smoky scent is present but not dominant and accompanies a long and persistent finish.
Of all the spirits in the world, few are as influenced by the terroir as Mezcal. An Agave plant needs several years to mature: Agave does not age in the barrel, it ages in the soil. Nuestra Soledad produces single village Mezcal, distinct in flavor and aromas. Each village shows the difference in territory, water source, distillery and obviously the hand of the Master Mezcalero. Mezcal Nuestra Soledad (the name is a tribute to the Holy Virgin of Solitude, protector of the city of Oaxaca) was born from the ancient tradition of artisanal Mezcal to preserve and maintain ancient production methods.
