Pierde Almas Mezcal
Marqués Plata
Marqués Plata is a Joven mezcal from Guanajuato produced in a style similar to tequila. It lacks smoky notes and features aromas of unsweet tea alongside vanilla bean, whipped cream, and lemon custard. The palate balances high water content with distinct sweetness reminiscent of birthday cake frosting and tikka masala. Tobacco notes provide depth to this middle-of-the-road spirit made from Agave Salmiana. While it offers a unique regional profile, it remains distinct from the wild flavors often found in San Luis Potosí mezcals.

Jaral de Berrio Mezcal
About the Brand
The Hacienda del Jaral de Berrio is located in the historic borough of San Felipe Torres Mochas, Guanajuato. Its origins date back to the late 16th century and the production of mezcal since 1764, when it was then known as aguardiente criollo del Jaral, according to bibliographic data and historical stock inventories. As part of the production process, the Mezcales de la Hacienda Jaral de Berrio are steamed, not smoked, which means that the heart of the agaves are softened with vapor before the grinding process. Smoke is not used in order to avoid flavor contamination and allowing the agave Salmiana notes to be fully present.
