Product details
In the tiny village of San Miguel Ejutla in the central valley of Oaxaca, a co-operative comprised of 36+ families is committed to sustainable, fair trade mezcal production the same way it’s been done by their ancestors for nearly two centuries. Underground wood-fired pits, donkey-pulled tahonas (stone-wheel mills), fermentation in wooden tanks and small-batch distillation in copper alembics punctuate a process that has been and remains the life’s work of these mezcaleros.
Comprised of 90% Espadin and 10% Barril agaves, Banhez Ensemble is a delightfully mild, floral and fruity (pineapple, banana) mezcal perfect for first-time mezcal tasters and wonderful for cocktail innovation. Winner of Best Mezcal and Double Gold awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. 42% ABV.
- Complex, floral, not over the top smoky — but at the price of a mixing mezcal.
- Smooth/balanced flavor. Still a nice amount of smokiness to complement recipes.
- Smooth, smoky and delicious!

PURE EXCELLENCE
Great mescal,Very well price.
This is unbelievable good. Complex, floral, not over the top smoky — but at the price of a mixing mezcal.
This is the first Mezcal that I have really enjoyed sipping on. I bought it to use in drink recipes, but was pleasantly surprised by its smooth/balanced flavor. Still a nice amount of smokiness to complement recipes, but quite good on its own.
From a person who’s just getting into Mezcal, I would recommend this as an approachable place to start. I also really like the story of the makers who are a co-op in Oaxaca. Love it!
Smooth, smoky and delicious!
Lovely rimmed in salt with a slice of blood orange on the side.
