About this bottle

Jose Lucas, a third-generation distiller, produces this mezcal for the Lucas family in San Isidro Guishe, Miahuatlán, located in southern central Oaxaca. It is a blend of fair-trade Madrecuishe and Espadín agave, cultivated without pesticides. The Madrecuishe was about 15 years old at harvest, while the Espadín was approximately 8 years old. Both agave types are roasted together in clay ovens heated by steam, a method intended to reduce lumber usage and prevent charring. The spirit undergoes double distillation and is bottled without aging.

Why there's no score

We have 1 rating for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
