The ensamble is a composition of Papalote (A. Cupreata) as a base and is complemented by Espadín (A. Angustifolia) and Tobalá (A. potatorum); This Montelobos is bright with bluish silver sparkles and has flavors such as pink pepper, chamomile and candied apple. It has a body and an acidity in the mouth that highlights smoke and fruit.

Ideal in cocktails and drinks as well as slightly chilled as an aperitif or digestive in a snifter. This mezcal is the perfect companion for fish and seafood.

Brand and creators

Ivan Saldaña, the creator of the Montelobos project

Don Aaron Alba the maestro mezcalero, Puebla.

Casa Lumbre produces premium, farm-to-bottle Mexican spirits with unique sensorial qualities that appeal to trade and consumers alike. Ivan Saldaña, one of the founding partners of Casa Lumbre and creator of Mezcal Montelobos and Licor Ancho Reyes, is the mastermind behind this whisky. In his PhD in evolutionary biology, Ivan Saldaña focused on Agave plants. This theoretical background combined with years in the practical experimentation in the creation of top selling spirits have made of him an international reference in the spirits business.

Production details

It's common practice that a mezcal is the purest expression of a particular type of Agave, however with this Ensamble, Montelobos decides to bring out the sharpness of the Espadín, along with the sweetness of the Papalote, rounding it up with the oiliness of the Tobalá.
