Creyente Mezcal is made with a blend of two top-notch Mezcals from Tlacolula and Yautepec, both of which are in Oaxaca. The frankly awesome animal you see on the label is a metaphor for the spirit - the jaguar represents its full body, the antelope legs represent the light, sweeter elements while the smokey notes are represented by the golden eagle wings.
Light, mineral-y smoke as it opens, leading towards grilled pineapple and roasted agave. Smoke grows and grows on the palate.
