LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The biologist's mezcal. It is clean, precise, and perfectly executed, offering a reliable and delicious example of what Espadín should taste like.

The Library Note

Created by Iván Saldaña, a biologist and agave expert, Montelobos was designed to respect the traditional methods of Oaxacan production while ensuring sustainability. produced in Santiago Matatlán, it uses only organic agave and is committed to being 'wolf-friendly' (sustainability efforts).

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Damp earth, fresh cut grass, honey, and citrus with a background of ash.

THE PALATE

Structured and balanced. Roasted agave sweetness is matched by notes of asparagus, smoke, and jalapeño.

THE FINISH

Salty and smoky with a touch of chili heat.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Ideally neat with orange slices and worm salt (sal de gusano). Or in a 'Mezcal Mule' where its smoke cuts through the ginger.
