Description

Koch Elemental Mezcal is made with traditional methods with 100% farm-grown agave espadín in Oaxaca. This mezcal is called 'joven' as it is rested for 2 months before botting which makes it smooth.

The terroir is defined as a geographical space defined by environmental factors (soil, altitude, climate, etc.) and culture. For this reason, Koch has focused on working with different people of Oaxaca to create the identity of each zone in the association of certain flavours and aromas with specific locations.

Fundador of Koch El Mezcal Carlos Moreno's family has been linked to mezcal since the beginning of the 20th century. In 2009, Carlos resumed the family tradition and teamed up with 5th-generation maestro mezcalero Pedro Hernandez to create Koch El Mezcal de Oaxaca to preserve and promote mezcal culture. After 10 years of business, they've integrated more than 15 communities and 50 producing families into their collective.
