At Viejo Indecente we like mezcal that tastes like maguey. That tastes a lot, with alcoholic strength but does not scratch or make the eyes water.
We like good mezcal. The one that does not disappoint and that does not matter if the batch changes, delivers its promise of quality and flavor.
This mezcal comes from the tradition of a family that also likes good mezcal and that makes it in one of the most biodiverse areas of agave in the country. Miahuatlán, Oaxaca.
Miahuatlán is the driest region in Oaxaca, it is the only one with calcareous soils and borders the Sierra Sur, full of aromas of the sea and ancient minerals.
Little is produced from this mezcal, slowly, without haste or traps, and it comes from magueys that the family harvests on their own lands.
This mezcal is indecent but sustainable. No trees are cut down to do it, no agrochemicals are used, no yeasts are added to the fermentation, and it is traded under a fair trade agreement.

Espadín Mezcal 100% agave— specifically, 100% Espadín, or agave angustofilia— naturally harvested in a single vintage after an eight-year growing term. The year and lot number can be found on the back label of each bottle. All grown on the Lucas family farm and distilled on-site. This is a single-village Mezcal (San Isidro Guishe). A mineral, herbal nose becomes briny and citrusy on the palate with a hint of sweetness and a smokeless, clean, fresh finish. Ensamble Mezcal 100% agave of two varieties: Madrecuishe (40%) and Espadin (60%). Madrecuishe is a special type of agave in that it takes much longer to mature (14 years!) compared with Espadin. It is smaller and lower-yielding than Espadin, and is prized for its silky mouthfeel. Both agave varieties are naturally harvested and cooked together in a handcrafted steam oven, then fermented in Montezuma wood tanks. Distilled twice in a copper alembic. All grown on the Lucas family farm and distilled on-site. This is a single-village Mezcal (San Isidro Guishe). An herbal nose continues on the palate, with a smokeless, refined finish. |
