About
Koch Lumbre Mezcal Joven was created by master distiller Pedro Hernandez in San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca. Koch el Mezcal produces traditional, handcrafted mezcals that are perfected by master distillers who have generations of knowledge in agave plant processing.
Koch Mezcal prides itself on 100% Oaxacan ownership and bringing a streamlined efficiency to the 200 year-old production methods of mezcal. They use traditional stone lined pits to cook the agave hearts, fermented, and then given a double distillation process. It is aged in oak for some years before bottling.
Koch El Mezcal is an unthinkably rare spirit produced exclusively from a range of wild agaves. The individual, intensely idiosyncratic, agave grow under harsh and generally prohibitive conditions come together to form a poised, charming, and tenaciously subtle mezcal. Distinguished notes of flora, mineral salts, and delicate spices tease your senses. On the palate, agave nectar rolls off the tongue while a pillow of smoke seems to linger endlessly on the finish.
Koch Lumbre Mezcal Joven is made with 100% wild agave Lumbre, which is a very rare agave in mezcal. Agave Lumbre is it’s own scientific agave species, and there are not any other closely related agave on record. This mezcal is made by mezcalero Pedro Hernandez in San Baltazar. It has notes of sweet, fresh cocoa.
