Vamonos Riendo is an Artesanal ensamble mountain mezcal that brings together ancient techniques and artistry from multiple Oaxacan communities to create an extraordinary handcrafted spirit.
The journey begins in the high altitudes of the Sierra Madre mountains where our Tobala, has been growing wild for 14 years at 6,000 feet above sea level. The sandy soil and temperature changes of high-altitude days and nights develop exceptional complexity of sugars at the heart of the plant: the piña. Combining the finest quality Espadin magueys from the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, with our Tobala, we create our award winning Ensamble mezcal.
We nurture every step of our small batch artesanal process taking weeks to produce each lot

Slow roasting the mature maguey piñas in stone lined pits with remnants of black oak that fire the pits.
Milling the cooked piñas with a tahona mill where the volcanic stones extract to perfection the juices rich in syrups and honeys.
Naturally fermenting the juice only with native yeasts floating near the palenques.
Distilling in copper stills fired with black oak, to achieve the desired and distinctive reaction and unique flavors in the distillate.

Triple distilling with local fruits inspired by celebratory pechuga-style mezcals resulting is a remarkably fresh flavor that is unique to any other mezcal.

Experience our fresh fruit, honey and herbal aroma with a subtle black oak smokiness. On the palate, taste a medley of melon, pineapple, grapefruit and mandarin balanced by the sweetness of cocoa with notes of mint and anise. Long velvety smooth finish of caramel with a tantalizing citrus bite.
