Zacal Mezcal: Beyond Oaxaca

|
By Adam O'Connell Verified
| Master Of Malt
Zacal is a mezcal brand founded by four friends, Phil Clayton, Ian McCaig, Cri Osborne and Andrew Maidment, in partnership with third-generation mezcalero Milton Román Ochoa Corona. Two bottlings have been released so far: Manso Sahuayo, a delicate, single-varietal mezcal bottled at 45% ABV, and Manso Sahuayo y Bruto Ensamble, a complex blend of two agave distillates at 50% ABV. It hails from Michoacán, Mexico. Not Oaxaca.

The classic image of a Scotch whisky distillery is a valley, a river, fields of barley doing their golden shimmer for the brochure. Pulteney is not that.
