  Speaker 3: For us.

  Speaker 5: Uh, this is delicious. It's got the subtle smoke coming through.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: It's the Espadeen is the agave we're using here, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: that they it is known as the mother of all
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: at gaves.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And this for alcohol by volume, nice and smooth. Love
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the label.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: It's got a mosquito on it, and that's what Zenkudo
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: interprets in Spanish mosquito. Yeah, it means mosquito. They have
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: a few different styles of this. This particular bottle that
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: I'm holding is yes, available right now in the wine stores.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Great neat on its own. I got a cub or
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: two in there for you exactly. You can make a
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: mexical and Negroni out of it, or other style cocktail
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: should you wish. A Negroni has equal parts of sweet
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: removeth and red bitter liqueur.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I prefer the cappelletti. The cappelletti is red.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Have turned me into a Cappellidi fan.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we converted some people this nice party this week.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: They loved it, very nice.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: And then the dole in sweet remove.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I like the French remooth in this because it's a
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: bit more or basic.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Want me to make you one. It's a bit more
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Why do we have you here? Yeah, what's going on?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Have another drink, Jimmy.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Here's another part.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: But people who like tequila for some reason, I haven't
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: tried mescal.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I don't really care for tequila, but I like this.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But once you discover mess hell, you go what have been?
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, tequila is great, but there's just something about mescal.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: It's it's just got that different feel. And I credit
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Selena Gomez.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: You know, we should have a package of her oreos
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: with with mescal.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: A little little lot here. I can do this because
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: this spas.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And that's just the.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: So now this is Capelletti Capelletti's a red bitter of liqueur.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Rivals is a spirit based Capelletti's a wine bass. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: prefer that because it's got a bit more of a mouthfeel.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: The Swede sweede for mooth. The franchise like because it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: more herbaceous.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: You could use an Italian swede for mooth, but it's
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: just got too much caramelization and things going on with it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: You're gonna overwhelm some of the subtle nuances, not only
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: from the red bitter liqueur, but also from the smokiness
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: of the mescale itself.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So what do we know about this company?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: The family owned, generational family are working in the fields.

  Speaker 3: It'll stand out on your barshelf.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Sustainability and also they've got a nice QR code down
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: there for additional information. A lot of great videos through
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: their website and uh just a real heartfelt. Uh it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: just there's a lot of realism going on with this company.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: They are definitely hand their hands on and.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Uh uh they've got as I said, lot one and
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: the Zancuro Mezcal Artisanal. This is the Espadine gave that's
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: the mother of all the gaves.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And this is great neat.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: If I got it, if I must have misread this
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: sixth generation Zapotech distiller. So it's not the it says
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: down here Zappo Tech family, but I think it's the
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: family lives in Zapotech Wahaka. It's the Morales family. Yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Carlos Morales.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Uh uh mescallera and uh yeah, what a title. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: you're right, you know, mezcal is a product that a
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: style of an agave based spirit out of Wahaka. You
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: mentioned tequila that's got to be out of Jalisco, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: you're using a different agave that's the Azul or blue
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Weber agave typically and uh you do.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Also somebody just asked this the other day.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: You can yes, age mezcal also an oak barrel for
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: that repisado kind of style. And then there's a pachugas
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: where you'll hang protein in the tank for a definite
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: for a secondary yeah, yeah, yeah, abbot venison. Yeah, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: you'll just yep, and you can even do uh snake
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: they snake.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Turkey, I want to snake protein.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: But this pt and that that softens the smoke, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: it's more for this was a ceremonial kind of a technique,
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: and you do see some of those. There are a
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: few bars in town that really emphasize special ordering. You hang,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: you hang the protein right inside the still so you
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: secondary ferment. You send it through distillation twice or third
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: time again after the product's finished, and as it comes up,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: it not only cooks proteins, but you're now getting these
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: additional connagers out from that protein. What do you do
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: with the protein when it's I'd like to think in
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: ceremonial purposes, they're they're applying it off and and ingesting
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: it and eating it. I would, I would suspect, and yeah,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: it's pretty cool put you in this.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of cats on my neighbors.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: No more.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: What I like about the reason I'm bringing that up
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: is this has such a fine, subtle smoke, but it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: it's it's definitely there. It's so characterful and I know
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I'm using the words subtle and so characterful and it
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: might be contradictory.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: It's this is just layered and complex, really messcal.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: This is a really I'm super glad response, right, I
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: mean I've had I was gonna say, I've had a
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: few messcals and you've you've given me what was I
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: thought my favorite message?
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Okay, this one is now my new favorite messcal and
• 8:36

  Speaker 3: New to our market, right yeah, brand new. Yeah. Yeah,
