Quiquiriqui Mezcals are all single palenque, handcrafted spirits, produced in Mexico. Established in 2012, they partner directly with families who have been producing traditional Mezcals in their communities for generations.
Quiquiriqui products are made to order in small batches at the Mendez family palenque in Santiago Matatlan. They only use fully mature agave plants to make mezcals, which the family grow themselves or are grown in partnership with farmers across Oaxaca.
The agave is cooked in a 15 ton conical underground oven, wild fermented in wooden vats and double distilled in 350 ltr alembic copper pot stills - these are time honoured traditional methods the family have had in place for the last 3 generations.

Flavour Profile
Espadin mezcal with a refined, smoky core of roasted agave, bright citrus zest and green herb accents. Silky mouthfeel, whispers of vanilla and leather, a touch of earth and mineral salt, finishing long with warm smoke and a soft peppery fade. A true artisanal mezcal, expressive of Oaxaca's palenque tradition.
