MDM Pelon Verde de Roman Cortes Sosa Agave Spirit 94pf 750ml
Maguey Melate Pelón Verde from Sergio Martinez Rodriguez was originally released as the December 2022 Mezcalero of the Month Club agave spirit. This mezcal was produced in the remote community of Santa Maria Ecatepec, Oaxaca, which is about a 5.5 hour drive from Oaxaca Centro. About 8 years ago, Sergio started planting his own Pelon Verde agaves recognizing the flavor profile and biology were drastically different from Espadin.
Maguey Melate was founded on two ideas: 1) Artisanal agave spirits are amazing and should be shared with the world, and 2) The faster-cheaper economy is a harmful force for people, the environment, and now agave spirits.
They believe if mezcal (and agave spirits) can be understood and appreciated at its full potential, people will show their preference for quality artisanal mezcal that is sustainably and fairly sourced. By raising consumer consciousness on the origins of mezcal and educating enthusiasts on matters of quality and character, informed people will be empowered to ensure the future of mezcal.
