Mezcal Doba Yej - Los Siete Misterios
The first nose is carried by very fresh notes of citrus, lime and orange, before revealing baked apple and pear, and a subtle smoky note. Complex, balanced, soft and luscious palate, on citrus, violet and a hint of caramel. Long and floral finish.

Handcrafted mezcal from Oaxaca state in southwestern Mexico. 100% Agave, specifically the Espadín variety (which can be transalted by Doba-Yej in ancient Zapotec language), mezcal is produced from the heart of the plant which has grown many years before being hand harvested, and is then cooked in wood-roasted conical fire-pits buried in the ground. This is where the smoky notes of mezcal come from. Then, they are grounded in a stone mill pulled by a horse. The extracted pulp and then goes through a double distillation in 250-liter copper pot still. Bottled after resting in vats, this is a young mezcal, “joven” category.
Los Siete Misterios Distillery is an artisanal distillery based in the state of Oaxaca, founded in 2010 by Eduardo and Julio Mestres, following a journey in which the passion, traditions and Mexican roots and culture inspired the spirits that were to be born. Bringing the past to life by integrating it into the present: this is the challenge of Siete Misterios has set for itself, by working hand in hand with the communities of Oaxaca, and by honoring a unique variety of Agave in each of the mezcals. Love and dedication to Mexican culture, concentrated in each bottle.
The mezcals available on our website are imported into France by La Maison du Whisky.
