Fosforo Ensamble Mezcal  750ml

Bright, layered, and crafted for both sipping and mixology, Fósforo Ensamble Mezcal is an artisanal expression that blends the elegance of Tobalá with the vibrant fruit-forward character of Espadilla agave. Bottled at 43% ABV in a 750ml format, this mezcal delivers floral aromatics, tropical fruit, pepper spice, and a signature lingering texture that balances complexity with approachability.

Process & Profile

Produced in Puebla, Mexico, Fósforo Ensamble is crafted by mezcalero Aarón Alva Sánchez using a blend of Tobalá and Espadilla agaves. Espadilla, a regional cousin of Espadín native to Puebla, contributes a more fruit-driven and expressive backbone that complements the richer texture and depth of Tobalá.

The agaves are traditionally roasted underground, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats, and double distilled in copper pot stills. This artisanal production process preserves the mezcal’s terroir while maintaining balance between smoke, minerality, and fruit character.
