The Story
La Santa built its name on Jalisco tequila, and its Mezcal Artesanal carries the same no-shortcuts philosophy south to Oaxaca, the “Tierra del Mezcal.” The brand blends two agaves with opposite personalities: Espadín, the workhorse of mezcal, brings body and roasted-agave depth, while wild Tobalá — small, scarce and prized — adds a floral, fruity lift. The result is left crystal-clear rather than rested, so the gold you see is the spirit’s only adornment: real, edible 24k flakes drifting through every pour. It is sold in Mexico as the Mezcal Artesanal Abocado con Oro 24K.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Roasted agave and gentle smoke from the Espadín, lifted by Tobalá’s floral, tropical-fruit notes. Palate: Potent and complex, as the brand promises — cooked agave sweetness, a flicker of minerality and soft smoke, kept in balance by the Tobalá fruit. Finish: Long and clean, with the gold flakes adding theatre rather than flavour — the mezcal itself does the talking.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat from a copita or small glass to catch the Tobalá aromatics, with an orange slice and sal de gusano alongside if you like it traditional. It also makes a showpiece high-end Margarita or Oaxaca Old Fashioned — shake or stir, then watch the gold flakes swirl in the glass.
