Mezcalero No. 6 was made with wild and semi-wild agaves Karwinskii (Bicuishe and Madrecuishe) and Rhodacantha (Mexicano) from Don Valente Angel in Santa Maria la Pila. This was a limited release of just 816 bottles.
Mezcalero No. 9 was made with semi-wild agave Arroqueño from three neighboring clay-pot distilleries in Potrero de Sola de Vega. The entire batch was just 762 bottles made in this one-time release.
Mezcalero No. 11 is made with semi-wild agave Madre-Cuishe, Bicuishe, and Mexicano, as well as cultivated Espadin from distiller Alberto Ortiz (Don Beto) near Miahuatlan. This Mezcal is complex, and unusually cleanly distilled. The spirit is silky and sweet on the nose, offering citrus aromas and a gentle smoke character. The body has notes of roasted meats and sweetness. The finish is well-rounded and seductive.
Mezcalero No. 8 was made with wild and semi-wild agaves Madrecuishe, Mexicano, and Tobalá from master mezcalero Don Valente Angel in Santa Maria la Pila. The entirety of this one-time release was just 1080 bottles, and most (if not all) of them are gone.
Mezcalero No. 4 was made with the extremely-rare wild agaves Americana (Sierra Negra) and Marmorata (Tepeztate) from the distillery of Joel Antonio Cruz in San Juan del Rio. This was a limited release of just 852 bottles.
Mezcalero Special Bottling No. 1 was distilled in September 2013 by Alberto Ortiz from semi-wild Madre-Cuishe harvested from a south-facing hillside of rocky calciferous soil at 5400 feet elevation. The south slope means more sun, more flavor, and more fruitiness. This batch rested in a tank for 18 months following distillation. Alberto Ortiz keeps his distillery incredibly clean, which is reflected in his Mezcals.
Mezcalero No. 17 is a limited edition mezcal that was hand-distilled in March 2014 by Cirilo Hernandez in San Baltazar Guélavila. This mezcal was aged in glass before bottling in June 2015. It was made from the wild & very rare Agave de Lumbre, which was blended at roasting with agave Espadín. In total, there were 1104 bottles released at 48% ABV. This mezcal is very round and mellow with similar caramel notes to those mezcals or tequilas that are barrel aged.
