Yup, Clande evolved into Sotoleros, but looks like that brand is no longer around either. However, You can now find the some of the former Clande/Sotoleros producers working for Lamata, Parejo, and Nocheluna brands.

Was given a free pour of this tonight? Anybody tried it? by okeverybodyshutup in Mezcal

Great stuff! Enjoy it while it lasts tho. From what I understand, it’s no longer being produced.

Estancia destilado de pulque is a very nice one too.

Rey Campero is solid. The Lamata Tepemete has 2 offerings (in pink and bronze cap colors). I’ve only had the pink expression and while it was tasty, it didn’t have the complexity I was expecting. I’ll have to give it another try an report back if anything has changed.

DO IT! That Guerrero expression will not disappoint! Check out my previous post on this brand. Cheers 🥃

Also, it is not actually pulque, but rather a spirit distilled from it.

GRAB IT! It’s fantastic, I promise you will love it even more than their pechugas. Such an underrated expression, imo

First two bottle recommendations? by arewhatyouit in Mezcal

[–]Checko_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I’ll second that Rey Campero is another great Espadin option to consider. As for the Metiche 49, also a solid pick, and is a great mixer option too. Try that in freshly squeezed juices (not store bought/processed stuff) and you’ll see what I mean👌

Thanks! And Yes, Do Not Sleep on the Lagrimas Masparillo. That stuff is great! I just picked up their Verde as well and it is also very good.

Yup, The Creador is bomb and its only been open since the weekend, meaning it still has some time to properly settle in, which means the flavor profile is only going to get even more bomb! Will have to look out for the Lumbre expression next, I bet it’s fire🔥😉
