Review Date: 12/2013The ripe, fruity style of this mezcal lends itself to making margarita variations and other cocktails. Look for tropical fruit flavors like lychee and banana, and a mild note of jalapeño on the finish. *Best Buy* (KN)

Notes
Unión Mezcal is an organization devoted to helping Zapotec families from the mountains of Oaxaca via a fair trade business model. Started by a group of young people from Mexico City, they founded Mezcal Unión on four pillars: respect for artisanal practices; sustainable cultivation of agave; quality and wellbeing of their farmers/distillers; and the economic and social development of the community they work with. Their flagship blend is distilled by Pédro Hernandez in San Baltazar Guelavila and is a blend of Espadin and Cirial and supports traditional agave farmers across the area. Extremely mellow and easy drinking without sacrificing any of the agave flavor, this is one of the most approachable and affordable mezcals on the shelf.
