Wahaka is an artisanal mezcal brand rooted in the traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico, known for producing high-quality, handcrafted mezcals using 100% agave. The brand is deeply committed to sustainability and preserving the ancient methods of mezcal production, ensuring that each bottle reflects the rich heritage and culture of the region.

Wahaka offers a variety of mezcal expressions, including Espadín, Tobalá, Madre Cuishe, and wild agave varieties, each offering a unique flavor profile. Their Espadín is the most widely available and delivers a balanced and approachable mezcal experience, with smoky notes complemented by earthy, citrus, and herbal undertones. The Tobalá is often regarded as more complex and refined, with flavors of tropical fruits, floral notes, and a distinct minerality, making it a favorite for connoisseurs. The Madre Cuishe, made from wild agave, brings a deeper, more intense smokiness with savory and vegetal flavors.

Wahaka mezcals generally have an alcohol content ranging from 40% to 47%, depending on the expression. They are traditionally enjoyed neat to fully appreciate their complexity and the craftsmanship behind each batch, but they also work well in mezcal-based cocktails for those seeking a smoky, earthy dimension to their drinks. Wahaka's commitment to authenticity and quality makes it a standout choice for both mezcal newcomers and aficionados.
