Mezcales Únicos

“ Mezcales de Leyenda presents the first limited release in the series: ‘Mezcales Únicos’, with the purpose to offer the collectors or agave lovers, the opportunity to appreciate for the first time, an agave that had never been distilled before.

 

To initiate this innovative series, we picked the stunning Agave montana, which grows wild in a hidden valley in the Sierra Madre Oriental in Tamaulipas.  The result is a surprisingly wild and unique mezcal.”

“All of the  special editions from Mezcales de Leyenda have a special social cause.  Through the edition ‘Mezcales Únicos’  we are donating a significant part of the sales to the cultivation and conservation of this extraordinary agave.”

Agave Montana

The Agave montana is unique in that it only grows in Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon at an elevation over 2,500 meters above sea level among pine and oak trees.

This agave has very distinct flavor profile, that makes it very unique from any other mezcal. It has a unique aspect when it flowers it transforms from military green color to bright orange, reds and yellows

Don Procopio & Don Rodolfo Obregón

Because in region where this agave grows does not actually have any  mezcaleros, we worked with the Obregón family, who are incredible producers from Guerrero.   They made the trek out to mountains of Tamaulipas and through trial and error, using both father and son’s experience, they produced for the first time ever a mezcal from Agave Montana.
