About

Artisanal mezcal balances smoke with clarity. From roasted agave and open air fermentations to small stills, the spirit’s profile is shaped by mineral lift, gentle smoke and occasional floral notes. From bright Espadín to rare wild agaves, each bottle carries place, craft and tradition. Why Shop Mezcal at Kent Street Cellars We focus on authenticity, small scale craft and clear provenance. Explore respected houses and artisanal producers including Clase Azul, Del Maguey, Casamigos, Koch and Domingo, with distinctive bottlings landing regularly. Availability changes with season and demand. How It Is Made Harvested agave piñas are slow roasted in underground pits lined with hot stones and wood, then crushed to release sweet juices and fibres. The mash ferments with water, often with wild yeasts, before double distillation. Some regions use clay pot stills for an earthy accent. The result ranges from gently smoky and mineral to fruit driven and floral depending on agave, region and method. What Is Mezcal Mezcal is a protected Mexican spirit made from agave. Unlike tequila, which uses only blue Weber agave, mezcal can be produced from many species such as Espadín, Tobalá, Cuishe and Tepeztate. Traditional methods and regional terroir create distinct styles across Oaxaca, Durango and beyond. How It Tastes Look for aromas of roasted agave, citrus and light smoke. Flavours span mineral, herb and pepper to ripe stone fruit, cocoa and sweet spice. Texture can be silky or rustic, with a dry finish that invites another sip.
