About this bottle

The Producer is a brand dedicated to highlighting individual mezcal expressions, varieties, mezcaleros and palenques.

Maestro Erasto Martinez produces the Ensamble in copper pot stills with an eight to eleven day open air fermentation to allow for natural airborne yeast to ferment the mash.

The cooked agave hearts are crushed traditionally using a stone tahona wheel. It is bottled at 40.2 % ABV, with approximately 2,000 bottles made per batch. Available as of September, 2021.
