Montelobos Ensamble Mezcal is a joven ensamble of papalote, espadín and tobalá agaves, made at Palenque del Tentzo in San Nicolás Huajuapan, Puebla, by maestro mezcalero Aarón Alva under Iván Saldaña.

The agave is roasted in a conical underground brick oven fired with encino and tepeguaje wood, mechanically shredded and wild-fermented in open pine vats with no added yeast or nutrients. Distillation takes place in copper stills over direct wood fire. Cooked agave, smoke and citrus lead the nose; capers, nutmeg and pink pepper mark the palate, and the finish carries leather, warm spice and faint candied strawberry.

At Sun of a Gun Cigars & Spirits in Yuma, Arizona, we pour it by the glass as a single or a double, with bottles to go (750 mL). Our shelf changes as bottles are poured and new ones arrive, so call 928-276-3500 to confirm availability, and ask our team for a cigar from the walk-in humidor to pair with it.
