Mezcalosfera con Mango y Chile Habanero – Margarito Cortés

Oaxaca

Mezcalosfera con Mango y Chile Habanero, Margarito Cortés is a Pechuga mezcal from Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. Produced by Margarito Cortés under NOM-O315X, this Angustifolia spirit offers dried fruit and spicy pepper notes. The nose presents mango, banana foster, and grilled peaches with vanilla undertones. Roasted sugar crusted mangos lead to a finish of burnt sugar crust, cedar, and habanero capsaicin. The spirit balances fruity sweetness with a savory, creamy mouthfeel on the palate. A tingling afterburn from the chili extends the finish, creating an elegant yet spicy profile that remains unmistakably agave driven.

About the Brand

Mezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca is the exported bottling from Mezcaloteca, the famous bar in Oaxaca City that is renowned for their educational tastings. They source all of their agave spirits directly from producers in seldom-traveled parts of Oaxaca that are often hard to get to. They put an exceptional amount of information on their labels, and all of their releases are very small batches that exhibit the most unique characteristics of mezcal. Though only a few batches have been brought into the US, there are dozens upon dozens of different varieties available for sale at their tasting room in Oaxaca City.
