El Silencio Rare Mezcal
El Silencio is the Oaxacan mezcal brand known for its matte-black bottles, and Rare is its special-release ensamble, produced in small batches with hand-numbered bottles. The mezcal is made in San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca, by Pedro Hernández, a ninth-generation maestro mezcalero. Rare blends three agaves, each harvested at ten to fifteen years old: cultivated Espadín, the backbone of most Oaxacan mezcal, alongside Bicuishe and Barril, two slender, trunk-forming agaves of the karwinskii family that are far less common in bottled mezcal. The blend is distilled in copper and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). The producer's tasting notes describe aromas of winter fruits, spice, florals, leather and sweet mesquite roast, followed by a palate of sweet ripe agave, nuts, oak and mushroom with a medium smoke, and retailers carrying the release add black pepper, caramel and dark chocolate to the list. It is built for slow sipping rather than mixing: pour it neat into a copita or a small tulip glass, let it sit for a few minutes, and taste it next to El Silencio's standard Espadín to see what the karwinskii agaves add to the blend.
