Mezcal Trascendente
ABOUT:
Mezcal Trascendente is a modern, eco-conscious brand that brilliantly balances old-world traditions with a fresh, new-world vision. Produced in the Tlacolula Valley of Oaxaca—widely considered one of the purest regions for harvesting agave—the brand relies on the expertise of a fifth-generation maestro mezcalero. Trascendente is specifically crafted to challenge the stereotype that mezcal must be overwhelmingly smoky; instead, they focus on slow fermentation and reduced combustion smoke exposure to highlight the bright, floral, and fruity characteristics of the agave plant. Deeply committed to environmental sustainability, the brand actively supports the Chinampa Restoration Project in Mexico City and local hummingbird rescues, protecting the sacred birds that serve as vital natural agave pollinators.

MEZCALS OFFERED:
Espadín (Premium): The foundational expression made from 100% artisanal Agave Espadín. Designed to be incredibly approachable and refined, it features a sweet, floral scent accented by light mineral hints. The palate is clean and fresh, delivering bright herbal notes, baked fruit, and a very soft, gentle smoke, finishing with a sophisticated touch of honey.
Ensamble: A highly celebrated, award-winning blend that masterfully combines three distinct agaves: Espadín (for a sweet-smoke backbone), Tobalá (for elegant fruitiness), and Cuishe (for citrus-sweetness). It offers a beautiful nose of gentle honeydew melon, faintly sweet aloe, and spearmint. The tasting experience is an explosion of fresh flavors, ending with a distinct, mouthwatering mineral finish of granite, slate, and a curl of lime peel.
Tamarindo: A unique, naturally flavored mezcal expression that embraces Mexico’s rich culinary heritage. It blends their bright, artisanal agave spirit with natural tamarind, offering a perfectly balanced sweet, sour, and gently smoky profile that is exceptionally playful and ideal for innovative cocktails.
