Producer Information: Sombra Mezcal

Sombra Mezcal is a premium spirits producer that specializes in creating artisanal mezcal. The company was founded in 2006 by Richard Betts, a renowned sommelier and spirits expert, and is based in Oaxaca, Mexico. Sombra Mezcal is known for its commitment to sustainability and ethical production practices, as well as its dedication to preserving the traditional methods of mezcal production.

Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from the agave plant, which is native to Mexico. Unlike tequila, which is made exclusively from blue agave, mezcal can be made from a variety of agave species.

This traditional method of production gives Sombra Mezcal its distinctive smoky flavor and complex aroma.

In addition to its flagship mezcal, Sombra Mezcal also produces a range of other spirits, including a tequila blanco and a gin. The tequila blanco is made from 100% blue agave and is aged for six months in oak barrels, giving it a smooth, rich flavor. The gin is made using a blend of botanicals, including juniper, coriander, and citrus, and is distilled in small batches to ensure maximum flavor and complexity.

Sombra Mezcal has won numerous awards for its spirits, including a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a double gold medal at the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition. The company is also committed to giving back to the community, and works closely with local farmers and artisans to support sustainable agriculture and traditional crafts.

Mezcal: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide

View All Mezcal Products →

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with Espadín being the most common variety used. This unique spirit is characterized by its distinct smoky flavor, which results from roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before distillation. Mezcal can be enjoyed in various forms: unaged (Joven), aged for at least two months (Reposado), or aged for a minimum of one year (Añejo), each offering different complexities and flavor profiles.

The aroma of mezcal often features earthy notes complemented by citrus, herbs, and sometimes floral or fruity undertones, creating a rich sensory experience. Its texture ranges from smooth to full-bodied depending on the aging process. Mezcal is versatile in cocktails, commonly used in drinks like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, but it is also appreciated neat or on the rocks to fully savor its intricate flavors.
