Sombra Agave De Oaxaca Mezcal

Sombra Mezcal was created by winemaker and Master Sommelier Richard Betts in 2006 after his discovery of the magic of Oaxaca, Mexico. A lover of the good things in life, Richard made an immediate connection with the culture, the people, and the food & drink of Oaxaca. With Director General John Sean, Richard created Sombra as a celebration of a holistic, sustainable lifestyle. Honoring tradition with innovation and respect for the earth, Sombra La Via embraces the Oaxacan ideals of ‘te divierte’ (have fun), ‘sigue aprendiendo’ (keep learning), and ‘ama la terra’ (love the earth).

In the mountains near San Juan and San Luis del Rio near Oaxaca, they harvest espadin agave at elevations up to 8,000 feet. They believe that elevation is key and have found the higher they go in the Sierra, the more elegant the resultant spirit.
