Fast Facts
- This mezcal is a truly small-batch spirit, which is made from organic espadin agave and distilled in the mountain village of San Juan at an elevation of 8,000 feet.
- The spirit is complex and smoky enough to be sipped, but light and citrusy enough to be mixed in cocktails
- Sombra is Spanish for “shadow”.
Types of Sombra Mezcal Available
- Sombra Mezcal
Just made a fine Negroni variant with this. 1 part each Campari & Antica formula vermouth + 2 parts mezcal, stirred & strained & garnished with an orange twist.
Del Maguey is no longer associated with or produces for Sombra.
Now made in San Juan Del Rio.
