Real Artisanal Mezcal
From Miahuatlán

Pensador is a range of small-batch mezcals made to Rural Mexican Standards: a commitment to the heritage and local mezcal culture of Miahuatlán, Southern Oaxaca.

“The finish is long and smooth, with lingering smoke, mild pepper spice, and a slightly mineral aftertaste. The natural sweetness of the agave shines through as the smoke fades.”

“I sniffed and sipped and there was no going back, what a fascinating flavour profile! I now have plans for this drink, what must it taste like with game? With a BBQ? The smoky flavours are so smooth and palatable and the options, endless.”

Pensador is a range of artisanal mezcals from Miahuatlán; a remote region of southern Oaxaca approached by La Calle Pensamientos – the road of thoughts. The brand champions the place, process, and people of this region. Together they form the local mezcal culture responsible for the nuance and complexity of these spirits. A commitment to sustainability and the local economy ensures the continuity of this culture: 10% of all proceeds are donated to community projects in the region. Our mezcals are produced in tiny batches with great care, drinkers are encouraged to put the same time and consideration into each sip.

“I WAS BORN HERE AND I NEVER LEFT. I WORKED AND DEDICATED ENTIRELY TO THIS. THE MORE TIME YOU PUT IN, THE BETTER THE PRODUCT COMES OUT.”
