THE STORY

Made by hand in San Luis del Río, Oaxaca from Espadín agave, Vida is the benchmark mixing mezcal — fresh, smoky and bright.

Nose

Roasted agave, lime zest, wet earth, smoke.

Palate

Smoky, peppery, citrus, mineral.

Finish

Medium, smoky and gently sweet.

Aging process

Unaged. Agave is roasted in earthen pits, crushed by horse-drawn tahona and fermented in open wood vats.

Terroir & region

San Luis del Río, Oaxaca. Dry hills, volcanic soil and wild yeasts.

My go-to for cocktails

Bright, smoky, honest. We use it in every margarita at the family restaurant.
