Cheers and salud. It’s Monday, September 22, and this issue is for the ones who know that time means everything.

Most bottles on your shelf earned their age in barrels. But with ONE OF US Mezcal, the story begins much earlier, with agaves that take up to 14 years to mature before a single drop is ever distilled.

If it's your first sip with us, join over 70K curious spirits up here.

Oh, but it’s not just about time …

THIS RAREST SPIRIT BEGINS WITH THE ELEMENTS

The wild Cuishe agaves used for ONE OF US grow slowly, unrushed, in the valleys and sierras of Oaxaca. They see sun, rain, heat, and cold, year after year, untouched until the right moment arrives.

Founders Marco & Roza shared with Bottle & Barrel:

“There is a beautiful sense of purpose with these noble agaves that Jacinto, our Maestro Mezcalero, taught us. If the agave is not harvested at the right time, it will grow past ripeness and simply die. Purposeless. So when we harvest and turn it into mezcal, it carries all of that waiting, all of that care. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. Ever. 

Shortcuts would be a disrespect — because each agave only gives its heart once.”:

And that’s where ONE OF US begins.

FROM PLANT … THE STORY BEGINS.

TO BOTTLE … EVERY DETAIL OBSERVED.

SO, PATIENCE DOES MATTER

Because you taste it. The minerality from their palenque’s natural deep-well water. The character shaped by 14 years of sun and storm. Fermentation guided only by open air.

No additives. No disguises. Nothing to mask its rarity.

ONE OF US Mezcal is crafted with patience, presence, and purpose.
Not made to be rushed … but made to be remembered.

From earth to your hand … well over a decade of patience.

Only 7,200 bottles were released in the U.S. this year.
The inaugural 2024 batch. The very first edition ever bottled.
A first edition never to return.

Each cap is sealed with a hallmarked medallion engraved “2024” to mark this first edition.

ONE OF US MEZCAL SHIPS NATIONWIDE

A rare gift. A bottle to mark milestones.
This is the mezcal they’ll remember you by.

For years, buying cannabis meant taking a trip to a dispensary, dealing with long lines, limited selection, and inconsistent pricing. But thanks to changing laws and innovative online retailers, buying high-quality THC products is now 100% federally legal—and more convenient than ever.

And when it comes to quality and reliability, Mood is leading the way…

Because they’ve completely flipped the script on cannabis shopping. Instead of memorizing hundreds of confusing strain names – like “Gorilla Glue” and "Purple Monkey Breath" – you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.

Each gummy is formulated with the perfect blend of Delta-9 THC and botanicals to deliver the perfect mood.

Want a great night’s sleep? Try the Sleepytime gummies. Need laser focus Mind Magic gummies have you covered. Hotter sex? Try the Sexual Euphoria gummies.

It's cannabis shopping that actually makes sense for “normal” people.
