About Mezcal Verde Momento
The fermentation process is completely natural and chemical-free, using only 100% natural yeasts and bacteria and forgoing any additives. Beside collaborating with small-scale producers, always paying a fair price for the mezcal they buy, and working with Maestros Mescaleros to preserve traditions, they also donate a 15% share of their profits to sustainability projects that work to preserve Mexico's flora and fauna.Mezcal Verde Momento is a spinoff of Amarás that is produced artisanally in Tlacolula, Oaxaca. It's made from 8-year-old EspadÃn agaves that are cooked using conical stove ovens with the addition of 3 different kinds of wood ― this leads to a smokier profile. Fermentation takes between 7 and 30 days (depending on the season) in wooden vats, after which the juices are double distilled in a 500-liter copper pot still. The eye-catching labels feature various different local artists' paintings, but the contents are the same.

About Mezcal Amarás
Amarás crafts award-winning terroir mezcals with a focus on having balanced, symbiotic relationships with nature. It was founded in 2010 by a group of friends who became enamored with mezcal after visiting several states in Mexico. Being firmly rooted in community and environmental sustainability, they take care to respect the land, the ecosystem, as well as each person involved in the process. They plant 10 times more agaves than they use, creating new jobs in the process and proliferating the species.About Mezcal
Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor.
What scotch is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for tequila.
It can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca. Mezcal offers a large diversity of flavor profiles and ranges between 40 and 55% ABV.
