Banhez Ensamble Mezcal 1L

Banhez Ensamble Mezcal 1L | Artisanal Espadín & Barril Blend

A Sustainable, Family-Owned Cooperative Mezcal Featuring a Complex Floral and Fruity Profile

Banhez Ensamble Mezcal is the signature expression from a unique cooperative of families in San Miguel Ejutla, Oaxaca. This 1 Litre bottle offers a generous volume of their flagship spirit, which is crafted using traditional practices passed down through multiple generations.

Unlike single-variety mezcals, this "Ensamble" is a masterful blend of $90\%$ Espadín and $10\%$ Barril agave. The Espadín provides a reliable, sweet foundation, while the wild Barril agave introduces a sophisticated floral complexity and earthy depth. This combination results in an approachable yet incredibly layered mezcal that is perfect for both sipping and high-end cocktails.

Tasting Notes & Profile

Nose: Remarkably floral and inviting, with dominant aromas of fresh pineapple and ripe banana.

Palate: The palate is rich and mildly creamy, offering unique notes of millet and roasted grains. These savory elements are balanced by a surprising and decadent layer of chocolate-covered hazelnuts and tropical fruit sweetness.

Finish: A smooth, balanced finish where the gentle smokiness of the pit-roasted agave melds with a lingering nutty and floral sweetness.

Traditional Production & Social Impact

The Cooperative Spirit: Banhez is comprised of over 30 families who work together to ensure fair wages and the preservation of Oaxacan culture.
Agave Blend: A precise marriage of $90\%$ Espadín $A. angustifolia$ and $10\%$ Barril $A. karwinskii$
Artisanal Methods: The agave is roasted in underground stone pits, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, and fermented in open-air wooden vats.
1L Volume: This larger format is an excellent value for home bars, professional bartenders, and social gatherings.

Serving Recommendation

Due to its balanced and floral nature, Banhez Ensamble is an ideal "gateway" mezcal for those new to the category. It is exceptional when served neat alongside a slice of orange and worm salt (sal de gusano). For cocktail enthusiasts, the 1L bottle is the perfect size for crafting multiple Mezcal Margaritas or Oaxacan Old Fashioneds, where the notes of chocolate and pineapple can truly shine.
