Los Danzantes Mezcal, a brand that's been dancing to its own rhythm since 1997, was founded by twin brothers Gustavo and Jaime Muñoz, along with winemaker Hugo D’Acosta. They transformed a disused palenque in Santiago Matatlán, the Mezcal Capital of the World, into a haven for artisanal mezcal production. The brand's philosophy is deeply rooted in tradition and authenticity, with a strong commitment to preserving the artisanal process. Karina Abad, a chemist and master mezcalera, oversees the production of their seven varieties, ensuring each bottle captures the spirit of the plant. Los Danzantes Mezcal, now enjoyed in 25 countries, is a testament to the brand's dedication to sharing the rich tradition of mezcal with the world.
This is like the equivalent of drinking a white wine in the afternoon. Soft nose, smooth on the palate, low viscosity. It’s just a fresh, clean sipper that you can crack open anytime. Won’t blow anyone away, but it’s a great one to keep in the cupboard.
