I don’t always drink Mezcal but when I do it’s…. Mezcal Vago Espadin 100 proof, stone ground with three distillations.

From a small village of Candeleria –  Yegole in the mountains of southern Oaxaca, Mexico, the town sits on the confluence of two rivers.   This dry environment with ample water is ideal for producing hand crafted,  small batch and labor intensive Mezcal.  Mezcalero’s have been perfecting their craft for generations in this region. Hand made by Aquilino Garcia Lopez with only the finest estate grown and cultivated 100% Espadin Agave base, it soaks for four days in toasted maize (corn) mash and is then distilled a third time.  It features a nose of  smoked corn and flint and a palate of fresh cut orange and anise and hints of pine and a long caramel finish.   Make no mistake, this Mezcal is a sipper, not a slammer… The entire production biography of this Mezcal is on a hand made label with simple plain text on a rough shod paper.   The label is made from left over agave mash from the still and has  all the information you need to make an informed choice about Mezcal Vago.

A few other items that our guests  enjoyed this Thanksgiving were Coole Swan “Superior Irish Cream” 32 proof                               made with the finest single malt Irish whiskey, fresh dairy cream and white Belgian Chocolate.  This is 100% natural which really makes the difference especially to my sister in law, who is known for her tasty Irish cream. We tried this with fresh brewed coffee and found it amazing!

Another favorite is Lazzaroni Limoncello from Italy, which is 52 proof made with the finest lemons in Italy and no added colorants.  Made from a recipe that dates back generations,  this is great served cold or over ice cream.

As you prepare for the holidays, remember to add a little  Mezcal Vago Espadin, Coole Swan Irish Cream or Lazzaroni Limoncello to your beverage list!

Hello,

Thanks for making Sweet Waters Liquor your destination discount shop for Wine, Liquor and Beer in the Vail Valley and the Western Slope of Colorado. We have a large selection of wine, micro brews, tequila, bourbon, whiskey, single malt scotch and over 500 airplane minis. We work with suppliers from everywhere… California, Denver and right here in Eagle to insure you the best price. We have tastings on Wednesdays and Fridays and try to feature new products we have just brought in or staples we have not tried in a while.

Our Wine of the month is 2010 Terra Rare Riserva “Carignano” from Sicily, Italy. It is ranked the #1 best buy in The Wine Enthusiast top 100 at 92 points for $13.98.  This is a great value and features “Black plum, mocha and Mediterranean herbs, ripe black cherry on the palate.

Our beer profile this week is  an unfiltered wheat beer from Kansas City, Missouri.    Boulevard “Tank 7 ” is a nice lighter beer that will go well with your Thanksgiving feast.

We have been busy stocking up for the holiday season with many new whiskeys, bourbons and tequila’s  in gift packs.  Stop by and take your time to look around the store for our new offerings.

Our goal is to search and taste everything so we can find the best available products at the best price for you.   I know its a hard job  but someone has to do it…

A new whiskey line we just brought in and are very excited about is from Smooth Ambler Spirits, an Old Scout Rye from West Virginia:    Mashbill 95 % rye, 5% malt,  minimum of 7 year of aging, non chill filtered, continuous column distillation.                   This is a true Rye aficionado’s whiskey!

Thanks for shopping at Sweet Waters Liquor.  We appreciate your business …
