What to know before buying

The listing describes traditional pit-roasting over several days and, elsewhere, says the roasted agave is rested for a week before milling. These process timings are not necessarily incompatible, but the precise sequence is not fully clear. The additive-free statement is a producer claim, not independent verification.

Buyers wanting one bottle for both neat sipping and cocktails.
People interested in Oaxaca-made mezcal and the traditional production methods described in the listing.
