Oscar Morales Garcia represents the fourth generation mezcaleros from both his mother and father’s sides of the family. Using a recipe developed by his late father Don Lucio Morales López, Oscar produces a beautiful, easy-drinking mezcal that is true to San Dionisio Ocotepec and its traditions.
Originally created by Maestro Mezcalero Lucio Morales as a gift to his wife, Agustina, “Zacate” is produced by the Morales family using the same traditional process as their classic “white tape” espadín, with one important twist: Freshly cut lemongrass is added to the stills before the second distillation, and a bit more is macerated in the finished product for an extra touch of aromatics and color. The result is a bright and lively expression of espadín that makes a great highball, brings an interesting twist to classic mezcal cocktails, or works as a fun plug-andplay substitute for gin.

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