Calenda Mezcal
Calenda Mezcal is an artisanal spirit from Etla, Oaxaca, crafted by Master Distiller César Caro using Espadín (Agave angustifolia) and Mexicano (Agave rhodacantha). Produced through natural fermentation in wooden vats and double distillation in copper pot stills, it reflects Oaxaca’s deep mezcal heritage while embracing sustainable agave cultivation. Bottled at 43% ABV, it presents a crystalline profile with subtle aromas of caramel and cooked agave, offering a smooth, rounded palate marked by caramelized agave sweetness, balanced minerality, and a soft smoky finish—versatile for sipping neat or elevating cocktails.
Named after Oaxaca’s vibrant calendas—street parades filled with music, dancers, and towering puppets—the brand embodies celebration, community, and cultural pride. Positioned as an accessible yet authentic artisanal mezcal, Calenda blends heritage-driven storytelling with mixology-friendly versatility, making it ideal for hospitality programs, brand activations, and consumers seeking an approachable introduction to genuine Oaxacan mezcal.
