Producer Notes: Tres Papalote Mezcal
Tres Papalote Mezcal is a drinks producer that specializes in creating high-quality mezcal. Mezcal is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage that is made from the agave plant. Tres Papalote Mezcal is based in Oaxaca, Mexico, which is known for producing some of the best mezcal in the world.
The company was founded by three friends who shared a passion for mezcal and a desire to create a product that was both authentic and innovative. They named their company Tres Papalote, which means “three kites” in Spanish, after the three kites that they used to fly together as children.
Tres Papalote Mezcal is made using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations of mezcal producers in Oaxaca. The agave plants are harvested by hand and roasted in underground pits, which gives the mezcal its distinctive smoky flavor. The mezcal is then distilled in copper stills and aged in oak barrels to give it a smooth, complex taste.
In addition to their flagship mezcal, Tres Papalote also produces a range of other drinks that are famous in their own right. These include:
1. Tres Papalote Espadin: This mezcal is made using only the Espadin agave plant, which gives it a more floral and fruity flavor than the original Tres Papalote mezcal.
2. Tres Papalote Tobala: This mezcal is made using the rare Tobala agave plant, which is known for its complex and nuanced flavor profile.
3. Tres Papalote Pechuga: This mezcal is made using a unique process that involves hanging a raw chicken breast in the still during the second distillation. The chicken breast infuses the mezcal with a rich, savory flavor that is unlike anything else.
Overall, Tres Papalote Mezcal is a drinks producer that is dedicated to creating high-quality, authentic mezcal using traditional methods. Their range of mezcal and other drinks are famous for their unique flavors and complex taste profiles, and they are a must-try for anyone who is interested in exploring the world of mezcal.

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with EspadĂn 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.
