About the product: Cráneo Organic Mezcal is a single-estate, artisanal 100% organic Espadín mezcal handcrafted in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, by founder David Ravandi and local maestro mezcaleros.
Production:
Artesanal Oaxacan methods - agave hearts are roasted in subterranean conical stone pits with mesquite & oak, crushed by a horse-drawn stone tahona, naturally fermented with wild yeasts in wooden vats, and double-distilled in small copper stills (NOM-O425X).
Flavor Profile:
-
The nose features aromas of sweet barbecue smoke, citrus, delicate herbs and grass, with a distinct note of classic mint chocolate candy.
- The palate is silky and viscous with pronounced orange & grapefruit peel, fresh herbs, cacao, cracked pepper pods, and a delicate wispy smoke (perfect for drinkers hesitant to embrace smoke)
