Don Lorenzo
Don Lorenzo is a premium mezcal brand known for its artisanal production methods and dedication to preserving the traditional spirit of Oaxaca, Mexico. Crafted from 100% agave, Don Lorenzo mezcal captures the authentic essence of mezcal-making, combining time-honored techniques with a focus on sustainability and quality. The brand emphasizes the importance of small-batch production, working closely with mezcaleros to ensure that each bottle reflects the terroir and craftsmanship of the region.
The mezcal is made by harvesting mature agaves, which are roasted in earthen pits lined with volcanic stones, lending a distinct smoky character to the spirit. After roasting, the agaves are crushed using a traditional stone tahona and fermented naturally in wooden vats before being distilled in copper or clay pot stills, depending on the variety. Don Lorenzo produces a range of expressions, including Espadín (a versatile, approachable mezcal) and more rare offerings made from wild agave species such as Tobalá or Tepeztate, prized for their complex flavor profiles.
Don Lorenzo mezcal is known for its balance of smokiness, earthiness, and sweet agave notes, often showcasing flavors like roasted herbs, citrus, pepper, and minerality. These qualities make it suitable for sipping neat, following the traditional Oaxacan ritual of pairing with orange slices and sal de gusano, though it also shines in cocktails like the Mezcal Negroni or Oaxacan Old Fashioned.
With its deep respect for tradition and artisanal craftsmanship, Don Lorenzo offers a genuine mezcal experience that appeals to both enthusiasts and those new to this distinctive spirit. Each bottle not only delivers bold flavors but also honors the heritage of Oaxaca, making Don Lorenzo a meaningful choice in the expanding world of mezcal.
