Since 2004 Craft Distillers has worked with Grupo Los Danzantes to develop the US market for artisanal mezcals. Both Craft Distillers and Grupo Los Danzantes are deeply committed to keeping age-old artisanal methods alive by bringing the Alipús mezcals to market, thus providing a livelihood for a way of working, and a way of life, that are danger of disappearing – forever – amid the changes created by the powerful, forced, and rapid transition to the modern world.
The Mezcal Alipus San Juan offers a distinctive profile that showcases the character of the Espadín agave grown in the iron-rich soils of San Juan del Rio, Oaxaca. This mezcal is noted for its complexity and balance, achieved through traditional production methods.
Nose:
Alipus San Juan features a light coconut aroma on the nose, accompanied by notes of charred pineapple and burnt orange peel, creating an inviting start.
Palate:
On the palate, this mezcal delivers a fruity and smoky core, where the tropical fruit notes of banana and coconut emerge, alongside a rich cinnamon sizzle. This flavor profile is both robust and nuanced.
Finish:
The finish brings a pleasant mix of these flavors, with a touch of spice and the sweetness of caramel and vanilla, contributing to a complex and memorable tasting experience .
