Berta Vasquez is one of the rising stars of Ocotlan. Her determination and hard work are evident in every bottle she makes. She's as much renowned for her excellent mezcal as her kind hearted demeanor, there's not doubt that Rezpiral is getting some of her very best stuff. Her tiny palenque is located at 1548 meters and these five agaves were roast in an earthen oven over oak and volanic rock. Crushed on a traditional horse drawn tahona and double distilled, the mezcal was adjusted without the addition of water and botteld at 47.2%. As always Berta's mezcal are about balance, but this one has tons of power behind the subtle opening. Rezpiral's mezcal never disappoint and the Series 4 Berta Ensemble is no exception.
