Some of the best mezcals in the world honor an old tradition of aging the precious spirit in glass, underground. These limited stocks are unearthed for special occasions like birthdays, weddings, and baptisms. Cementerio Mezcalero is the first release in a series of mezcals that recognizes that tradition, aged in glass underground and bottled in very limited quantities. Only 435 bottles of Cementerio are being released, and a portion of the sales will be donated to purchase tourism equipment to promote the mezcal unearthing traditionally held during the celebration of Día de Muertos (The Day of the Dead).

Corte Vetusto Mesquite Smoked Mezcal

There are some big differences between mass-produced Mezcal and artisanal Mezcal, and the folks at Corte Vetusto are betting you'll notice the differences. Hand-crafted by Juan Carlos Gonzalez Diaz, a fourth generation master distiller, this Mezcal uses wild Agave Tobala. The process involves cooking the agave in a conical earthen oven with mesquite wood to impart specific flavors. It's then milled by a volcanic stone before naturally fermenting. The spirit is finally distilled twice using both copper and clay pot stills before bottling.

Bozal Ancestral Mezcal

The masses are still slowly being exposed to Mezcal, and that exposure stands to grow with the release of Bozal Ancestral Mezcal. The Bozal line aims to uncover different agave varieties, such as the extremely limited maguey Papalote used in this special batch. Papalote is wild agave grown on the mountain slopes of the Río Mezcala basin in Chilapa, Guerrero, and is harvested by the mezcaleros using traditional techniques to create this artisan, handmade mezcal. Packaged in this handsome, dark bottle meant to pay homage to the terra cotta copitas used for drinking mezcal.

Alacran Mezcal

Handmade in Oaxaca, Mexico, Alacran Mezcal is not only a complex, sought after drink, but it also scores points for its beautiful glass bottle with white matte coating. The spirit itself — made from the maguey plant — packs a smoky flavor expected with a Mezcal, but adds a complexity that makes it just as welcome sipped neat as it is in a cocktail.

Ilegal Mezcal Anejo

As Mezcal continues to rise in popularity, the contenders are starting to separate themselves from the pretenders. One of those contenders is Ilegal Mezcal Anejo. The Anejo is aged for 13 months in a blend of American and French oak. It's made from 100% Agave Espadin, is stopped with a natural cork, sealed with green wax, and individually hand numbered. The result is a smooth, balanced drink, with just enough agave flavor and smoke.

Espadin Marca Negra Mezcal

Mezcal is a unique, ancient, and quite amazing spirit that has yet to break through to the mainstream. You could say it's a relative of tequila, because both use agave, but that's where the similarities end. Mezcal is best described by the term it is derived from, "oven-cooked agave", a process that gives this spirit it's unique qualities. Espadin Marca Negra Mezcal ($100) is a great place to start, especially if you enjoy the smoky qualities found in scotch. Marca Negra (Black Hand) might be one of the smokiest Mezcal's around actually, making it a fine candidate to pair with a fine cigar on a cold night.

RXBar

Protein bars usually contain as much sugar as a doughnut and have an ingredient list that requires a doctorate to pronounce. RXBARs are different. With no more than eight ingredients, each bar contains only real, whole foods and delivers 12g of quality protein without any added sugar. At the core of every bar is a mixture of egg whites, fruits, and nuts — which they print right on the front of the package — and each of their 12 flavors are gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free. Our favorites are Chocolate Sea Salt, Blueberry, and Peanut Butter, but we recommend starting with the best seller pack, which comes with six of their top selling flavors. Keep a few of these in your gym bag, office drawer, and kitchen pantry for when you need a snack and resist the urge to scarf a candy bar.
