Aguerrido Mezcal
Mezcalosfera Mexicano – Juan Garcia
Mezcalosfera Mexicano, Juan Garcia is a Destilado de Agave Joven from Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. Rhodacantha agave provides the base for this 48.1% ABV spirit. Juan Garcia mills the piñas using a traditional tahona stone. He then distills the mixture in a refrescador still. The unaged liquid lacks official certification under protected denominations. This legal distinction separates it from standard mezcal or tequila categories. Producers often operate outside these territories while using identical methods. The spirit remains distinct due to its specific regulatory status rather than unique production techniques or flavor profiles.

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. Learn more about Mezcaloteca:
