Calenda Mezcal is a spirit that embodies the soulful craft and centuries-old tradition at the heart of Mexican mezcal culture. Rooted in artisanal practice and reverence for the agave plant, Calenda delivers the kind of authentic, expressive character that defines premium mezcal.


Produced using time-honored mezcal-making techniques, Calenda honors the slow-roasting of agave hearts in earthen pits, traditional milling, and open-air fermentation that give mezcal its unmistakable depth and complexity. Each bottle reflects the hands-on dedication of its makers and the land from which the agave is sourced.


  • Nose: Inviting aromas of roasted agave, earthy smoke, and subtle herbal notes that draw you into its artisanal character.
  • Palate: A rich, layered experience of smoky agave sweetness, dried fruit, and warming spice with a satisfying complexity.
  • Finish: Long and gently smoky, with lingering mineral and botanical notes that invite another sip.

Calenda Mezcal shines in a classic Mezcal Negroni, where its smoky depth plays beautifully against bitter aperitivo and sweet vermouth. It is equally at home in a Mezcal Margarita, lending a rustic, artisanal edge to every glass.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let its full character unfold. Calenda Mezcal is an exceptional choice for those exploring the rich world of artisanal mezcal.

Calenda is made by the team behind Bozal Mezcal, in the Etla area of Oaxaca's Valles Centrales. It is an ensamble of Espadín and Mexicano agaves, roasted in an underground conical oven lined with volcanic rock and crushed with a solar-powered mill. The juice ferments in open-air pine vats with deep well water and natural yeast, then is double distilled in copper stills under maestro César Caro. The name comes from the calendas, the festive street parades that mark celebrations across Oaxaca. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is a rounded, easy mezcal for sipping or mixing.
LOCATION

Etla, Oaxaca

Etla is the valley at the northwestern end of Oaxaca's Valles Centrales, about 17 km from Oaxaca City. Villa de Etla, its main town, sits at about 1,660 meters on a flat, fertile valley floor with a temperate climate, and its Wednesday market is known for the local white cheese. Mezcal producers here grow cultivated Espadín on the valley's farmland and gentle hills, roasting agave in earthen pits like their neighbors across the Valles Centrales.
