Distinctive, terroir-driven, and deeply connected to Oaxaca’s mezcal traditions, Rezpiral Berta Vásquez Mexicanito Agave Spirit showcases the unique character of the rare Mexicanito agave through the craftsmanship of mezcalera Berta Vásquez. Bottled at 47.2% ABV in a 750ml format, this small-batch expression highlights the diversity of Oaxaca's agave landscape with a profile rich in minerality, herbs, citrus, and concentrated agave character.
Produced by Berta Vásquez in Oaxaca, Mexico, this expression is crafted from Mexicanito agave, a rare agave variety prized for its complex and distinctive flavor profile. Rezpiral's mission is to preserve traditional mezcal-making knowledge by collaborating directly with individual producers and highlighting their unique production methods and regional traditions.
The agaves are harvested at maturity, roasted in traditional earthen pits, naturally fermented with ambient yeasts, and distilled using traditional methods that preserve the agave's natural character and sense of place. Each Rezpiral bottling is intended to reflect the personality of both the producer and the agave variety.
