Pensador Ensamble Mezcal

An Ensamble of Agaves for a symphony of flavors.

It was the scorching summer of 2015, and a guy named Ben journeyed through Mexico City. Little did he know that this escapade would leave him pining over... a Spirit? Yeah, he discovered the mystical magic of Mezcal, and he just couldn’t get enough. So, for the next couple of moons, he cruised the countryside, soaking up all the artisanal mezcal know-how he could find. Upon returning to London, Ben shared his newfound treasure with friends — aaand they all got hooked too. He realized he could turn his passion into a bankable business, so he bought a one-way ticket to Oaxaca, where destiny led him to Atenógenes and Jose García, the Mezcal masters of Miahuatlán. Talk about hitting the jackpot! Just like a fine wine, Mezcal is all about terroir – the unique identity shaped by geography and production techniques. And Miahuatlán, my friends, just so happens to be one of most unique terroirs there is. Anyway, the trio got to work and brewed up a new recipe that gave birth to the first bottle of Pensador. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Crafted by the wizardry hands of Don Atenogenes Garcia and his family, their small-batch Ensamble Mezcal showcases the idiosyncratic personality of the Miahuatlan region. This smoky, sweet sipper is blended with the magic of Espadin and Madrecuishe agaves, leaving you with a clean finish that's easy to swallow. The secret to its deliciousness? A traditional cooking and distillation process, including underground cooking, horse-drawn tahona crushing, and double-distillation in a copper still. With notes of roasted apricot, rich cacao, sweet agave, and a hint of saltiness, it works as a perfect Spirit guide through tradition and taste.
