Don Atenogenes and his family create Pensador Mezcal in his fields near Miahuatlan, Oaxaca, using traditional methods which remain largely unchanged since the 16th Century. They use a combination of espadín and madre-cuishe agave to create it - these are popular agave varieties for good reasons. The process from harvest to bottle each batch of Pensador takes two months - with the hand bottling and labelling taking it closer to three.
Oak-y smoke, roasted apricot, black pepper and a mineral-rich earthiness supported by citrus and grape.

Surprisingly good debut from a new brand on the market. I have had the chance to taste Pensador a few times now and I can easily say it sits in my Mezcal top 3: incredibly warm and rich, but also incredibly balanced. Absolutely quaffable. Can't recommend it more!
As someone who knows a lot more than me once said "It's only spirits where being just drinkable is a good thing" but it applies so well to this. For a 48% spirit you would never guess, it tastes delicious with distinct flavours standing out. With none of that petrol-like taste/burning sensation you would expect. It works best when drank straight with a good beer, but I can imagine cocktails are pretty great.
Absolutely outstanding Mezcal from a promising new name on the market. Wonderfully fruity and citrusy, with an oaky smokiness that provides warmth and balance without overpowering the drink's fragrance and clarity. Highly recommended!
