Los Nahuales mezcal is distilled at the Déstileria Los Danzantes in Santiago Matatlan, the world capital of mezcal, south of Oaxaca city. The mezcals are branded as Los Nahuales in the USA due to trademark issues. Though the mezcaleros behind this mezcal have been making it for generations, the Los Danzantes brand has been around since 1997.
Joven: Los Nahuales Espadin is traditionally made with farm-grown agave Espadin. The cooked agave is ground in a Chilean tahona that is pulled by a horse. It’s fermented in pine tubs, slowly and naturally (without accelerators), and with classical music to aid the cycle of microorganisms. It’s double-distilled in copper stills. ABV: 42%
Reposado: Los Nahuales Reposado is made with agave Espadin in Santiago Matatlan by Mezcalera Karina Abad Rojas. This mezcal is traditionally produced. After distillation, 66% of this mezcal is aged in French Oak barrels, and 33% is aged in American White Oak. After 9 months resting in these barrels, this mezcal is then bottled. ABV: 41.6%
