The Alacrán Mezcal Zacate is smooth yet lively, with gentle smokiness, a clean agave core and bright acidity making it surprisingly versatile. Ideal for sipping neat, or paired with grilled seafood, tacos al pastor, or spicy-savoury dishes.

Alacrán was founded in 2010 in Mexico City. Their Mezcal is made in the town of San Dionisio Ocotepec in Oaxaca, Mexico, and is crafted using agave espadín grown for 7-10 years. The production is artisanal; the agave hearts are roasted underground, crushed using a tahona (traditional grinding wheel), naturally fermented with native yeasts, and double-distilled in small-batch copper stills.
