Pierde Almas Mezcal
Mal Bien Zacate Limón – Morales
Mal Bien Zacate Limón, Morales is an abocado mezcal by Oscar Morales Garcia. Angustifolia agave from San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca, defines its profile. Copper distillation yields a strong lemongrass note that dominates the palate. This intensity makes it less suitable for sipping neat spirits. The thirty dollar price point offers a budget-friendly option for cocktails. It performs well in margaritas and similar mixed drinks. The herbal character complements citrus elements effectively. This label serves as an accessible base for refreshing agave-based beverages rather than a traditional sipping spirit.

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.
