Mezcal Verde

Amars crafts award-winning terroir mezcals with a focus on having balanced, symbiotic relationships with nature. It was founded in 2010 by a group of friends who became enamored with mezcal after visiting several states in Mexico. Being firmly rooted in community and environmental sustainability, they take care to respect the land, the ecosystem, as well as each person involved in the process. They plant 10 times more agaves than they use, creating new jobs in the process and proliferating the species.The fermentation process is completely natural and chemical-free, using only 100 percent natural yeasts and bacteria and forgoing any additives. Beside collaborating with small-scale producers, always paying a fair price for the mezcal they buy, and working with Maestros Mescaleros to preserve traditions, they also donate a 15 percent share of their profits to sustainability projects that work to preserve Mexicos flora and fauna.Mezcal Verde Momento is a spinoff of Amars that is produced artisanally in Tlacolula, Oaxaca. Its made from 8-year-old Espadn agaves that are cooked using conical stove ovens with the addition of 3 different kinds of wood this leads to a smokier profile. Fermentation takes between 7 and 30 days (depending on the season) in wooden vats, after which the juices are double distilled in a 500-liter copper pot still. The eye-catching labels feature various different local artists paintings, but the contents are the same.Get one of these trippy bottles today!
