Pierde Almas Mezcal
Grulani Sierra Negra
Grulani Sierra Negra is a Joven mezcal from Oaxaca. Leonardo Hernandez crafts this spirit in San Baltazar Guélavila using wild Americana agave. The mezcalero mills the hearts in a tahona stone before distilling them in copper stills. This unaged expression retains forty six percent alcohol by volume without any wood contact. The clear liquid showcases the distinct character of the highland agave and traditional methods used in its creation. Each bottle reflects the specific terroir of San Baltazar Guélavila and the careful attention to detail by the producer.

About the Brand
Grulani Mezcal was founded by maestro mezcalero Leo Hernandez and his business partner Victor Moreno. The brand is based in San Baltazar Guelavila. The bottle is a re-interpretation of a Zapoteca design, made with recycled hand-blown glass. The base and cap are made with oak and cedar, which is the same wood they use to cook the agave in their ovens.
