Description
Inspired by the celebration of life. Cráneo Organic Mezcal is a single estate artisanal mezcal handcrafted by local maestro mezcaleros and agave aficionado David Ravandi in the heartland of Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. Honoring century old Mexican traditions, the sacred skull depicted on our label was inspired by the Aztec Goddess Mictecacihuatl 'Meek-teka-see-wahdl', the guardian of the bones, which symbolizes strength and influence. In turn, our artisanal mezcal derives its strength and character from agave espadin. Classically structured on the nose, the mezcal offers a sweet barbecue smoke character with hints of citrus. Crystal clear. The palate is also mostly traditional, though with quite a light and silky body. Notes of orange and grapefruit peel, green banana, and spun sugar punctuate the modestly sweet smokiness, palate shows a progression and evolution of the aromas with a long enjoyable finish.
