Banhez, Mezcal Joven

Spirit from Mexico
by Banhez
$35.99
Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout.

Produced by a co-op of over 30 families in the village of Ejutla, Banhez Mezcal Joven honors traditional methods: underground pit roasting, stone tahona milling, natural fermentation, and copper pot distillation. The blend of Espadín (90%) and Barril (10%) gives it a harmonious profile—more floral and fruity than intensely smoky, with a gentle sweetness that makes it an ideal gateway mezcal.

On the nose, you'll find cooked agave, citrus peel, and a hint of smoke, while the palate delivers green herbs, white pepper, and a smooth, lightly smoky finish. At 42% ABV, it’s easygoing yet characterful—great on its own, in a neat pour or over ice, but also stellar in mezcal Margaritas, Palomas, or riffs on classic cocktails like a Oaxaca Old Fashioned.

Banhez is also certified artisanal and sustainably produced, making it a thoughtful choice for both newcomers and seasoned mezcal fans.

More about Banhez

In San Miguel Ejutla, Oaxaca, Banhez is a cooperative of 36 farming families making mezcal together. It was founded by Francisco Javier, inspired by his mother's teachings on growing agave, and is now led by his son Luis. The point of the co-op is simple: consistent work and fair wages for the mezcalero families who make it. Banhez isn't chasing trends. It's honest, agave-driven mezcal rooted in Oaxacan earth, and proof that tradition and community economics can align.
