Zamora Company USA adds Mezcal San Cosme, the first agave-based spirit to join the company’s fast-growing wine and spirits portfolio.
Alongside iconic brands like Licor 43, Yellow Rose Whiskey, and Villa Massa Limoncello, Amaretto and Vermouth, Zamora Company adds award-winning San Cosme Mezcal to its portfolio.
Founded in 2010, San Cosme Mezcal is the product of three childhood friends who set out to create a handcrafted young mezcal that combines tradition and artisanal craftsmanship, while also showcasing modern Mexico. The name was derived from the mysticism of Saint Cosmas, the patron saint of doctors, who performed miracles curing all who sought his aid.
San Cosme Mezcal is produced in Oaxaca, Mexico made from 100% espadin agave that is cooked for three days with mesquite wood in conical earthen pit oven before being shredded with a traditional tahona stone wheel. It is then fermented in oak tanks, double distilled in copper pot stills, and bottled in eye-catching packaging with a chic black and white label.
“We have been searching for some time for the perfect agave spirits that align with our high-standards and meticulous focus on the world’s top-quality ultra-premium products,” says Bill Corbett, CEO of Zamora Company USA. “Without a doubt, San Cosme is one of the finest mezcals in the category, led by an incredibly passionate and talented team in Oaxaca, the premier region in Mexico for mezcal production. We’re very proud to represent this world-class brand here in the U.S.”
