Ixcateco Papalome Mezcal

Ixcateco is produced and owned by Amando Alvarado Alvarez, who has been distilling agave spirits since the age of fifteen. Mainly utilizing wild Papalomé, Amando is one of a dwindling number of mezcaleros who maintain the centuries-old, ancestral practices of fermenting in rawhide and distilling in clay. Rustic and slightly funky, the flavors are pure, direct and alive with a distinctive character that is the hallmark of great mezcal.
