About this bottle
Kimo Sabe ("trusted friend") mezcal was produced using a combination of new traditions--agaves steam-cooked in ovens, then milled and old traditions--agaves roasted in open pits then crushed with tahonas. These two batches ferment separately and then are blended together before distillation. The third distillation is done in a pot-still. The distillate is aged 6 months in American oak before bottling at 42.7% ABV.

It’s too harsh to drink neat, but it is perfect for margaritas.
