About the role

Mezcal sommelier in the world's mezcal capital. A server who knows the difference between a tobalá, a tepeztate, and a madrecuixe — who can explain why one producer's espadin tastes of dried fruit and another's of earth — is delivering a world-class spirits education alongside every pour.
