Pierde Almas Mezcal
Cómplice Añejo
Cómplice Añejo is a mezcal aged for at least one year in oak barrels. Ignacio Martinez produces this spirit using Angustifolia agave from San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. The brand holds NOM-O420X certification for its production methods. Milling occurs in a tahona stone while distillation uses copper stills. The agave matures for eight to ten years before harvest. This process yields a 43% ABV spirit with distinct barrel character and depth. The aged profile offers complexity that reflects the long maturation period in wood. Each bottle represents the careful attention to detail found in this specific Oaxacan production.

About the Brand
The name of Cómplice Mezcal comes from a story. One night, a man learned of the existence of a legendary mezcalero who had the gift of capturing the essence of a person in the drops of mezcal. The man was determined to find the master. After a long period of searching, he finally found the legendary teacher. After talking for a long time, the master agreed to reveal his secrets, giving rise to a mutual complicity: whenever any of the descendants of the man found the teacher, he would teach him to capture the essence of a person in a mezcal in exchange for keeping the secret within the family. This is how, generation after generation, members of the family have maintained the unique flavor and secret of the mezcal: Cómplice Mezcal.
