$45.00
 

Oscar Morales Garcia represents the fourth generation mezcaleros from both his mother and father’s sides of the family. Using a recipe developed by his late father Don Lucio Morales López, Oscar produces a beautiful, easy-drinking mezcal that is true to San Dionisio Ocotepec its and traditions.

Complex enough to be enjoyed on its own, at 91 proof it’s also assertive enough to shine through in cocktails where lower ABV mezcales can easily get lost.

Produced by Lucio Morales until his death in 2021, the tradition is continued by Lucio's son Oscar Morales and his cousins, who represent the 4th generation mezcaleros in the family.
