Detailed Description
Los Amantes sources espadín agaves from a small consortium of small village palenques throughout Oaxaca. The brand uses traditional methods in mezcal production including a stone tahona to crush the cooked agaves. This reposado spends up to 8 months in clay and new American oak. Los Amantes translates to “The Lovers” and is named for the ancient Aztec legend of Mayahuel, the goddess of the maguey plant and fertility.
