The 2024 New York World Spirits Competition has awarded Desolas Mezcal Blanco the title of Best Mezcal. Desolas Mezcal stands out in the mezcal world for its refined taste and approachable style, making it a great choice for both mezcal aficionados and those new to the spirit.
Crafted in the heart of Oaxaca, Desolas Mezcal Blanco is made using 100% Salmiana agave—a variety that produces a slightly different flavor than the more common Espadín agave. The production process honors traditional methods while focusing on sustainability. Hand-selected agaves are roasted, fermented, and distilled with care, resulting in a mezcal that showcases the rich, earthy flavors of the agave without overwhelming smokiness. Desolas is designed to emphasize the agave’s natural sweetness, appealing to those who appreciate a more subtle and refined mezcal.
Aroma: Earthy with hints of herbs and citrus.
Palate: Smooth and balanced, with a gentle sweetness. Light smokiness and subtle minerality.
Finish: Clean, refreshing, and lightly herbal.
Desolas Mezcal Blanco’s smooth profile makes it versatile in cocktails, pairing especially well with refreshing drinks like a Mezcal Margarita or Paloma, and it’s also enjoyable neat or over ice. This mezcal stands out as an ideal option for anyone looking to explore the complexities of mezcal without an overpowering smokiness, setting a new standard in the world of mezcal production.
