Peloton de la Muerte Maguey Espadin 1L

Pelotón de la Muerte is a meticulously crafted mezcal, produced using traditional techniques in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca, often referred to as the 'World's Capital of Mezcal.' The label, which translates to 'Brigade of Death,' pays homage to the insurgents of the Mexican Revolution. These brave individuals, known as 'the squadron of death for the suffering Hidalgo,' sought to avenge the death of the revered priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a key figure in Mexico's fight for independence.

Unlike many mezcals available in the market, which can be overpoweringly smoky and limit one's ability to enjoy multiple cocktails, Pelotón de la Muerte stands out for its exceptional balance and approachable flavor profile. Pelotón de la Muerte Maguey Espadin, in particular, showcases creamy caramel and herbal notes derived from the agave plant. It also offers a subtle smokiness resulting from the wood used during the agave cooking process, making it an ideal choice for crafting well-balanced mezcal cocktails. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 41%, it's a must-try for mezcal enthusiasts.
