Union Square Wines is thrilled to host A Mezcal Showcase, a special in-store tasting featuring two exceptional producers from Oaxaca, Mexico: Mezcal Unión and Pierde Almas. This is your chance to explore the diverse and captivating world of this traditional Mexican spirit.

This event celebrates the rich spirit of Oaxacan craftsmanship from two distinct perspectives. Mezcal Unión crafts their mezcal with a philosophy to unite farmers, producers, and drinkers, creating beautifully balanced blends from different agave varieties. In contrast, Pierde Almas, under the guidance of maestro mezcalero Gregorio Velasco Luis, captures the deep traditions of San Luis del Rio with a profound commitment to sustainability and the pure expression of the Espadín agave.

Prepare your palate to explore a spectrum of agave flavors. From Mezcal Unión, you'll taste Unión Uno, a bright and herbaceous blend of Espadín and Cirial agaves, and El Viejo, a robust mix of Espadín and wild Tobalá perfect for sipping or spirit-forward cocktails. From Pierde Almas, discover their classic Espadín, with its complex notes of smoke, pepper, and subtle chocolate, alongside the cocktail-ready La Puritita Verda, known for its unique savory sweetness.

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to taste and compare these remarkable mezcals side-by-side. Discover the nuances of different agaves and production styles, and find your new favorite spirit!
