Aguerrido Mezcal
Maguey Melate Reposado – Pedro Santiago Martinez
Maguey Melate Reposado, Pedro Santiago Martinez is a 42.3% Destilado de Agave from Oaxaca. Pedro Santiago ages Angustifolia agave for eight years in Santiago Matatlán using tahona milling and copper distillation. The nose presents green agave, vanilla, and faded oak alongside parsnips and sprouts. Palate notes include dried lumber, earthy funk, wet brick, raw potato, and artichoke. The finish offers soft florals and pine yet intrusive fetid oak can overwhelm the spirit. This expression exhibits a familiar profile akin to reposado tequila with grassy brown sugar and light wood varnish.

About the Brand
Maguey Melate was founded on two ideas: 1) Artisanal agave spirits are amazing and should be shared with the world, and 2) The faster-cheaper economy is a harmful force for people, the environment, and now agave spirits. They believe if mezcal (and agave spirits) can be understood and appreciated at its full potential, people will show their preference for quality artisanal mezcal that is sustainably and fairly sourced. By raising consumer consciousness on the origins of mezcal and educating enthusiasts on matters of quality and character, informed people will be empowered to ensure the future of mezcal. To do this, they’re reaching a large audience with an impactful message: KEEP MEZCAL ARTISANAL! Maguey Melate is perhaps most well-known for their Mezcalero of the Month Club, which delivers artisanal small-batch agave spirits directly to the doors of consumers in the US and Mexico. In addition to the monthly spirits, they offer exclusive content and interviews with producers. Single releases are also available in the Maguey Melate shop.
