Mezcal Descartes is created by Andrés Duarte and Maestro Mezcalero Don Enrique Hernández Zenea, third generation of Maestros Mezcaleros in San Luis del Río, Oaxaca.
Mezcal Descartes is a perfectly balanced mezcal with citrus, herbal and smoky notes. A mezcal made with the heart, more than a drink, our mezcal is art.
“I was surprised by how expressive it is – intense and persistent – but at the same time elegant and refined on the palate! With a dominant note of wet earth… That nostalgic aroma of drinking water from a clay pot. Behind a subtle smoky curtain, there are floral and fruity notes, like a crunchy green apple, a bit of citrus and a bouquet of flowers.”
– Miriam Sánchez, Master Sommelier
“Smoky and highly aromatic, with notes of cured or barbequed meat and a hint of lavender. Later, crisp green fruits appear. Smooth and elegant on the palate with green orchard fruits to the fore, backed up by hints of green olive and brine. Very approachable.”
– IWSC Judges
