Floral Character of San Baltazar Guelavila, Mountain Terroir and Dry Profile
The Mezcal Nuestra Soledad San Baltazar Guelavila 750 ml is a single-terroir gem produced by the prestigious Casa Mezcalera Cortés in the mountain community of San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca. Strictly dry in its organoleptic classification, this artisanal mezcal captures the subtle and aromatic notes that the fertile and shaded microclimate of the local canyons gives to the Maguey Espadín (Agave angustifolia). Crafted artisanally after 7 to 9 years of agave maturation by Master Mezcalero Pedro Vásquez, its process includes cooking in a subterranean conical stone oven with oak firewood, grinding in a traditional tahona, natural fermentation in wooden vats, and double discontinuous distillation in copper stills. Bottled at 48% ABV, it reveals refined aromatic notes of roses, jasmine, ripe peach, orange peel, roasted agave, fresh mint, and a subtle earthy smoke of great elegance. Purchase it with free shipping on orders over $1,499 MXN throughout Mexico and a guarantee of authenticity at La Cava Shop.
