What To Drink
Mezcal El Silencio
This artisanal hand crafted spirit was revived for a new generation of creative drinkers and cultural innovators. Produced in Oaxaca, Mexico the company practices the traditional process followed by generations of mezcaleros. Agave is meticulously picked, roasted, crushed, and double distilled causing a full-bodied flavor. There are two expressions: Mezcal El Silencio Ensamble (Joven), and Mezcal El Silencio Espadín.
Ensamble is made from carefully selected 10-12 year old Agave types. There are three different layers of agave involving Espadín, Tobasiche, and Mexicano resulting in a smooth and flavorful expression. Mezcal El Silencio Espadín is a pure agave mezcal with an aroma of subtle smoke, citrus and earthy greens. The finish incorporates a charred stone fruit, earthy clay notes and a hint of spice. Both are perfect to sip neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail such as the Bandolero or Ahumado. To try, head to Murray Hill’s latest bar, My Friend Duke for vibrant drinks in a luxe setting.
