Banhez Mezcal Tasting – Earthy, Smoky, and Seriously Good
If you’ve been curious about mezcal—or you’re already a fan looking for something that hits the sweet spot between traditional and approachable—this one’s for you. We’re featuring Banhez Mezcal, a standout from Oaxaca that’s made by a cooperative of family-run producers using time-honored methods.

Kelli Grant from CNI Brands will be in the shop pouring and breaking down what makes these mezcals a go-to for both newcomers and seasoned agave drinkers.

What We’re Tasting:

🌿 Banhez Ensamble Mezcal Artesanal Joven – A balanced blend of Espadín and Barril agaves. Earthy, smoky, a little sweet, and super smooth. Traditional in process, modern in drinkability.
🌵 Banhez Mezcal Artesanal Cuishe – Herbaceous and dry with a mineral edge. Distinctly wild and full of terroir.
🍗 Banhez Mezcal Artesanal Pechuga – Distilled with fruit, spices, and chicken breast for a rich, festive profile that’s deeply traditional.
🌱 Banhez Mezcal Artesanal Arroqueño – Made from a rare agave, offering a bold, rich texture with notes of roasted fruit and clay.
🪵 Banhez Mezcal Jabali – Complex and wild, with funky, floral notes and a touch of smoke. Rare, intense, and definitely one for the aficionados.

Bonus: Get 15% off any of the featured Banhez bottles during the event.

This is mezcal made for sipping, sharing, and seriously upgrading your agave game. Come by, take a sip, and taste why Banhez is one of the most talked-about artisanal mezcals out there.
