Erstwhile Arroqueño Mezcal (2018 Limited Edition)

Erstwhile Mezcal is a boutique importer of agave spirits based in Brooklyn, New York. We specialize in artisanal and ancestral mezcal.

Erstwhile is a mission-driven company.  Our mission is to help small, independent, family-operated producers go global and reach international consumers for the first time.  Our core values include: autonomy for and fair trade with partner producers, mezcal education to empower consumers, transparency, and elevating women in Mezcal and the broader Wine & Spirits industry.

This bottling is rare in part because it is 100% Arroqueño, a wild-grown agave varietal that typically takes 20-25 years to mature.  This delightful expression of Arroqueño is the most aromatic of the 7 distillations from Erstwhile Mezcal’s 2018 flagship line. Bright, botanical, and floral. Perfumery, spice market, and burnt orange on the nose. Lovely notes of green plantain and citrus on the palate.

ABV: 44.0%
