Nuestra Soledad 'La Compania Ejutla' Mezcal

Nuestra Soledad is comprised of six distinct mezcals from six different producers located in various regions of Oaxaca, intended to highlight elements of terroir in mezcal production.

 

La Compañía is a small village in the district of Ejutla, southwest of Oaxaca City in the Valles Centrales Region. The La Soledad distillery is owned and operated by Gregorio Hernandez, along with his sons Valentín and Joel, and is situated on a hilly plateau at an elevation of 5,000 feet above sea level. The steep slopes favor hardy agaves and the struggle to survive in this harsh growing environment comes through in the complexity of their mezcal. Don Gregorio employs a method of distillation that is common in the region of Ejutla, using a single, extended distillation in a modified pot still with a cooling chamber called a refrescador, which contributes to the unique, bold flavor profile.

 

Aroma: Bright and aromatically complex with white flowers, cilantro, and mint on the nose

 

Flavor: Rich, savory, and viscous on the palate with roasted chiles and minerality

 

Finish: The finish is long with a delicate kiss of wood smoke
