What it brings to the back bar.
Banhez is an approachable mezcal range led by an Espadín and Barril ensamble. Its profile is mild, floral and fruity, which makes it particularly useful for cocktails and for guests moving into mezcal for the first time.
The range also includes single-agave expressions for more specialist menus, letting bars move from a soft house mezcal into deeper agave exploration. It is a practical bridge between accessibility and authenticity.
The story behind the bottle.
Banhez is produced by a co-operative of mezcal-making families in Oaxaca. That structure gives the brand a strong community story and helps connect the bottle to the people and place behind the liquid.
ABUK lists Banhez Ensamble at 42% ABV in 1.0 L.
Single-agave expressions such as Cuishe, Tobalá and Tepeztate are listed at 47% ABV.
The range spans gateway mezcal and more specialist agave expressions.
Built for trade clarity.
Banhez Mezcal is presented here with the key buying details front and centre: 42-47% ABV and 0.7-1.0 L as the primary trade format. Where a range includes multiple expressions, individual strengths may vary by SKU and market availability.
Trade value, not shelf filler.
It gives bartenders a softer entry point into mezcal while retaining an authentic co-operative production story.
