Pierde Almas Mezcal
Verde Momento
Verde Momento is a Joven mezcal from Tlacolula, Oaxaca, made with Espadín agave. Doroteo Garcia cooks the piñas in a conical stone oven using ocote, oak, and pirul wood. The agave ferments in pine vats before distillation in a copper still. This process yields notes of citrus, smoke, and wet dirt on the nose. The palate offers burnt orange, tamarind, and ginger with a bittersweet finish of dark chocolate and tobacco. It is an affordable entry point for mixing or casual sipping, delivering straightforward smokiness without excessive complexity.
