The most premium expression from Montelobos.
Montelobos or should we say, Mountain of Wolves, was founded in 2011 by Iván Saldaña. A molecular plant biologist AND distiller, Saldaña got in cahoots with 5th generation Mezcalero Don Abel Lopez to make Mezcal in the right way – the traditional, artisanal way, of course. Producing Mezcal the same way it has been made for the last 500 years, they make sure not to rush anything. Plus, they care a ton about wolves – Mexican gray wolves and red wolves are critically endangered, which is why they partnered with the Wolf Conservation Center, a non-profit organization that helps to recover the endangered wolf populations in North America through its three-pronged mission of education, advocacy, and species recovery. Learn more about The WCC and donate today: https://nywolf.org/donate/. So, there you go, a balanced and complex artisanal Mezcal that helps save the wolves.
Distilled 3 times, Montelobos Mezcal Pechuga is their most premium expression. It’s a Joven Mezcal Espadin that was inspired by 5 centuries of Mezcal history. The third distillation adds a kosher turkey breast, seasonal fruits, and spices – yes, you read that right. After the piñas are roasted in an underground fire pit with volcanic stone that’s responsible for the distinct smoky flavor, they’re crushed with a traditional tahona wheel. Fermentation is natural and the final result is a layered tasting experience with tropical fruits, roasted almonds, maple honey, orange peel, pumpkin, and nutmeg. We suggest you savor this unique ultra-premium Mezcal that won Gold at the 2022 New York Spirits Competition neat or on the rocks.

Espadín. That word means “sword” in Spanish because the leaves look like a mass of swords projecting out of the plant. Espadín Mezcals are most common because it has been the easiest agave to cultivate.
All Tequila is Mezcal, but not all Mezcal is Tequila.
While Mezcal is produced all across Mexico, most of the Mezcal we see is produced in the state of Oaxaca. Interestingly, over 70% of Mezcal is made from the Espadín agave—even though more than 20 types of agave are used to make Mezcal.
