Product Description
Mezcal Bala Cincuenta 750ml is a bold, high-proof mezcal curated by blackbook for drinkers who want intensity, authenticity, and unmistakable agave character. “Cincuenta” refers to its elevated proof—designed to deliver a more powerful expression of mezcal without sacrificing balance or clarity.
Crafted in Oaxaca using traditional artisanal methods, Bala Cincuenta is bottled as a joven (unaged) mezcal, allowing the roasted agave and natural smoke to take center stage. The higher strength amplifies earthy minerality, vegetal freshness, and savory smoke—creating a mezcal that’s unapologetically expressive and built for serious agave fans.
At blackbook, we look for mezcals that don’t dilute their identity—literally or figuratively. Bala Cincuenta is raw, energetic, and purpose-driven, offering a full-throttle mezcal experience meant to be sipped slowly or used sparingly in bold cocktails.
