Verde Momento is made with 8-year-old agave Espadin by mezcalero Doroteo Garcia in Tlacolula, Oaxaca. The agaves are cooked in an underground oven using ocote, holm oak, and Peppertree which give the mezcal a smokiness desirable for cocktails. After cooking for about 5 days, the agaves are tahona-crushed before being put into 1,500-liter fermentation vats. The natural fermentation can last from 7 to 30 days depending on the production season, the amount of rain, and variations in temperature. Finally, it is doubled distilled in a 500-liter copper still. 

This mezcal has notes of grass, soft smoke, and fresh peach. Verde Momento is packaged in many different labels, however, they are all the same mezcal, illustrated by different local mexican artists that the distillery works with.

About Amores.

Amores is a Oaxacan mezcal label working with espadín agave from the central Oaxacan valleys, plus single-batch wild-agave releases (tobalá, tepeztate) on the higher tiers. The signature pour is Verde Momento — a lighter-smoke espadín that keeps the cooked-agave character forward of the smoke, built for cocktails as much as neat drinking.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Amores

Oaxaca

Amores is a Oaxacan mezcal label founded in the central valleys of Oaxaca, working primarily with espadín agave from cultivated palenques alongside small single-batch releases from wild agave species (tobalá, tepeztate). The mezcal is produced traditionally — agave hearts roasted in earthen pits, crushed by tahona stone, fermented in open wooden vats with wild yeasts, distilled in small copper alembics.

The range covers a working cocktail espadín (Verde Momento, USDA/EU organic-certified, lighter smoke) plus higher-tier wild-agave bottlings released in numbered batches. The light-smoke style sits in contrast to the heavier, smokier mezcals from southern Oaxacan villages — closer in profile to a clean Highland tequila but with the unmistakable cooked-agave depth and faint vegetal smoke that only a pit-roast can give.

Pour the Verde Momento into a Margarita or a Paloma when you want the agave to lead but not dominate. The wild-agave releases are slow sippers — neat from a copita, water on the side, the smoke and the soft cooked-fruit notes opening over twenty minutes.
