It’s International Mezcal Day on October 21, which means it’s the perfect excuse to channel your inner Oaxaca (pronounced “wah-HAH-kah”) spirit guide and pour yourself something smoky.
Why we love it:
Exclusive to Woolies, Alipús San Baltazar Mezcal is delicate, fruity and just a touch sweet. Expect whispers of green herbs, a flirt of spice and a finish that’s ever so slightly bitter – not dissimilar to the feeling you get when someone else finishes the last of the guacamole, right? Complex, cool and unapologetically Mexican, it’s the bottle that says: tequila’s mysterious cousin just stole the show.
