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.

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.

Montelobos Ensamble is a handcrafted mezcal made in San Nicolas Huajuapan, Puebla. It is produced using exclusively certified organic agave Espadin, Papalote and Tobala. Master Distiller, Aaron Alva Sanchez produces this mezcal. Instead of a tahona, they use a mechanical mill to crush the cooked agave.
