Receta Original De Lucio Morales Lopez

San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca , 45.5%

Complex enough to enjoy on its own, at 91 proof it’s also assertive enough to shine through in cocktails where lower ABV mezcales get lost.

Oscar Morales is the fourth generation of the Morales family to produce mezcal in the town of San Dionisio Ocotepec. He uses the land techniques and equipment of his father Lucio, for whom this expression is named.
