Mezcal Unión was founded with a powerful purpose: uniting Oaxacan communities to preserve artisanal mezcal tradition while fostering social development. Since 2011, they've built a collaborative model, partnering directly with farmers and maestro mezcaleros across different regions. This approach emphasizes fair trade, environmental responsibility, and empowers local families, ensuring the spirit of unity is present in every bottle. Discover mezcal crafted not just with skill, but with a profound sense of community.
Join us at Union Square Wines for a special tasting showcasing two distinct expressions from this inspiring brand. We'll feature Mezcal Unión Uno, their foundational Joven mezcal. A vibrant blend of mature Espadín and Cirial agaves, Uno offers balanced smoke complemented by bright citrus, notes of fresh grapefruit, mint, and pineapple, finishing with a bittersweet touch of lime. It’s a refreshing introduction to their collaborative spirit.
We will also pour Mezcal Unión El Viejo. Named in tribute to an inspirational Oaxacan elder, this Joven mezcal blends Espadín with prized Tobalá agave. Traditional wood cooking lends subtle smokiness, while the palate reveals intriguing notes of native tejocote fruit, distinct minerality, a rich buttery texture, and hints of pink pepper and cocoa on the finish. Experience how collaboration translates into complex, delicious mezcal. Taste the difference purpose makes and explore these unique Oaxacan spirits with us!
