At Casa San Matías, in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Villarreal family honors centuries-old distilling traditions with their exquisite Los Vecinos del Campo mezcals. Generations of families in the surrounding villages work as neighbors to create these artisanal, sophisticated, yet wild mezcals. Our three award-winning expressions are made from varietals of the agave plant. Espadin, Tobala and Ensamble No. 1 each have their own distinct flavors and sensations. We welcome you to our community and we hope that you enjoy our artisanal mezcals. Sip, savor, salúd!
Los Vecinos del Campo Tobala is made using maguey Tobala. It has earthy aromas with floral undertones and notes of citrus zest on the nose. Tasting notes include a sweetness followed by tropical fruits like mango and apple, with a spiced finish.
Los Vecinos del Campo is a mezcal project from the Sazerac Company and Casa San Matías, one of the oldest tequila distilleries in Mexico. Carmen Villarreal, CEO and owner of Casa San Matías, is leading the project. Los Vecinos del Campo released its agave Espadin mezcal in December 2018 and two other expressions, agave Tobala and Ensamble No. 1, in late 2019.
Los Vecinos del Campo Tobala Mezcal earned Best in Show, Best of Class distinctions and a Double Gold medal at the 2021 New York World Wine & Spirits Competition. It was also awarded a Double Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2022 and a Gold Medal at the 2022 International Wine & Spirits Competition.
