Alipús San Luis – Espadín (Clay Pot Distilled)

Alipús San Luis is an artisanal Espadín mezcal distilled in traditional clay pot stills in San Luis del Río, Oaxaca. Made by the renowned Hernández family, this expression offers gentle smoke, a touch of fruit, and soft minerality — a well-balanced and expressive bottle that’s perfect for sipping.

This is a favorite among mezcal newcomers who want something smoother and more complex than industrial offerings like Vida. The clay distillation adds earthy elegance while maintaining a clean, easy-drinking profile.

If you're exploring terroir-driven mezcals, this is a stellar next step.
