Mezcalosfera is a Oaxacan mezcal collective that empowers artisanal independent mezcaleros and preserves the the history of mezcal production in Oaxaca. It is a project under the umbrella of Mezcaloteca, a locally respected mezcalería and collective that curates a mezcal library in the city of Oaxaca de Juárez. Mezcalosfera offers small producers the exposure and financial liberty to produce and showcase batches of mezcal that would otherwise be too limited to offer to the general public. Each bottling is credited to the independent mezcalero, and is available only as a limited-edition run - so get it while you can. 

Only 140 liters of this unique pechuga mezcal were produced by Maestro Mezcalero, Job Cortés. Twice-distilled from local Espadin agaves grown in the puebla of Miahuatlán and cooked in a conical earthen oven with mesquite and encino wood. Distilled in a pechuga style using fresh mangos and habanero chiles in the distillation column to infuse their natural aromas in the final spirit. This unique aromatic flavor profile is perfect for complementing summer barbecues and outdoor celebrations by the bonfire. No additives whatsoever are used, and it is not sweet whatsoever - only the aromas from the real fruits are infused using the traditional pechuga technique during the second distillation. The nose is at once spicy and sweet, with mango notes that are high but subtle, layered with vegetal and piquant aromas from the chiles and roasted agave. Due to the ancestral method of proofing down the spirit using the heads and tails of the distillate, the palate is very full and enveloping at this high proof. Most enchanting is the long lingering finish, laced with mesquite smoke and the ghostly essence of habanero that has long since passed to the other side.
