Wahaka Mezcal, a brand that's more of a family, is deeply rooted in tradition. The maestro mezcalero, Alberto Morales, not only crafts the mezcal personally but also ensures the world gets to enjoy true artisanal mezcal. The brand is committed to traditional methods, using simple tools and no machinery, which is evident when you visit their palenque. This dedication to the old ways is what makes Wahaka stand out, earning the devotion of artisanal mezcal lovers. It's not just about the mezcal; it's about preserving a rich heritage and sharing it with the world.
Reviews
I’ve written before about my lack of love for pechugas (typically I think they are gimmicky), but this one adds rather than detracts. You get the viscous, oily mouthfeel that you come to expect. In terms of flavor, the fruity, nutty additions actually PLAY INTO the taste of the agave rather than distract from it. Somehow they managed a harmonious combination. It’ll cost you, but it’s worth showing off to guests.
