Mezcal Union Uno Mezcal represents the foundational spirit of the Mezcal Union brand, embodying their commitment to unity and collaboration within the artisanal mezcal community of Oaxaca, Mexico. Introduced as the brand's first variant in 2011, "Uno," meaning "one" in Spanish, serves as a constant reminder of the power of working together. Mezcal Union partners with several communities across different Oaxacan villages, empowering local maestros mezcaleros and agave farmers to thrive as independent entrepreneurs.
This un-aged mezcal is meticulously handcrafted from a blend of Espadín and Cirial agaves, carefully matured for an impressive 8 to 14 years, ensuring a depth of flavor and complexity. Mezcal Union Uno is characterized by its balanced, smoky notes accompanied by delicate hints of bright citrus.
Upon nosing, the spirit offers a refreshing aroma of fresh grapefruit. The palate unfolds with intriguing notes of mint, juicy pineapple, and various herbal undertones, further complemented by hints of fresh fruits, pear, and green applewood. The finish provides a satisfying bittersweet touch of lime. Traditionally enjoyed neat, Mezcal Union Uno pairs exceptionally well with an orange slice and a sprinkle of worm salt, a testament to the authentic Oaxacan way of savoring mezcal.
