Actually, tequila is just “the most famous mezcal”. A mezcal is defined as any distillate of an agave plant, of which there are hundreds of varietals. Tequila has to be made from just one varietal, blue webber agave. Mezcal as we know it, is a distillate from every other varietal. In our mezcales, we use Espadin, and Tobala.

Our mezcal is cooked the old fashioned way, in an earth pit with burning white oak from our local forest. Because of that, some people might notice hints of smoke. However, a lot of industrial mezcales are overstocked in order to cover up the poor taste of bad agaves. We have no need for that, we want you to taste the agave… therefore we cook our mezcal in a way that only gives it a “kiss of smoke”. Nonetheless, it is definitely more smoky that most spirits because of the way it is cooked underground.

Like with any alcohol, if you drink enough of it, you will definitely get a hangover. That being said, since our mezcal is made 100% naturally and made from wild fermentation, it is an extremely clean product which makes it much easier for your body to process. In my town, we have always drank mezcal neat, and gotten up at 5am to work the next morning with no problems.

Our mezcal is made 100% free of any additives or ingredients that compromise the quality of our product. We guarantee that every bottle has only 2 ingredients, agaves from our small town of San Juan del Rio in Oaxaca, and our local spring water that we use to proof it down. It doesn’t get cleaner than this.
