Mal Bien Mexicano Barril – Sanchez

Oaxaca

Mal Bien Mexicano Barril Sanchez is a joven agave spirit bottled at 46% ABV from lot 1022HSA. The nose presents lightly aromatic notes of corn husk and roasted agave. On the palate, the profile is quite sweet with a solid backbone of acidity that mirrors the initial aromas. It drinks easily yet remains one-dimensional in flavor complexity. The finish is long and dominated by that distinct musty corn husk character, providing a persistent earthy conclusion to this specific expression which stands out for its unique sensory profile.

About the Brand

Since 2016, the Mal Bien team has been traveling Mexico, driving off the map and into mountains filled with treacherous roads, police officers of questionable moral character, feral dogs, indigenous languages, narcos, ancient relics, machete wielding protestors, insect based meals, mudslides, blockades, corrupt politicians, and many of the world’s kindest, funniest, most brilliant people. In addition to some hard to believe stories, they’ve connected with a wide variety of traditional producers, whose mezcal is now bottled and exported under the Mal Bien name.
