If there is a starting point or “classic” for the Mexican eau-de-vie category, it’s mango. Easily the most popular fruit for distilling among mezcaleros, Oaxacan mango brandies offer bold and tropical aromatics that are bright and distinct, inspiring distillers across southern Mexico and as far north as Chicago! A particularly elegant example, Edénico’s mango eau-de-vie is made using two regional varieties, both locally sourced within the Cuicatlán municipality.

"Oaxacan mezcaleros claim that growing mango and other tropical fruits close to fermentation vessels influences the flavor profile of their spirits (in the best possible way). Thankfully, many also use the fruit to make sublime eaux de vie, such as this example from the Sierra Norte region. If you've dreamed of but never tried a mango distillate, this will exceed your wildest expectations, with transportive, tropical aromas and an elegant palate."
