We cook slowly in an underground
stone oven, using river stones and solid wood, where heat gradually transforms
the sugars and smoke becomes part of the character—the essence of our mezcal.
The maguey is carefully cooked for three to five days, with attention to every detail, from arranging and sealing the earth to making optimal use of the temperature.
Next, the cooked maguey is patiently and
thoroughly ground using a tahona, a traditional stone mill. Careful grinding helps achieve a more stable and aromatic fermentation.
We ferment naturally for six to
eight days, depending on the ambient temperature, allowing the wild yeasts of the environment to reveal natural aromas that cannot be manufactured: ripe fruit, fresh herbs, flowers, and a minerality that speaks of the soil.
The fermentation tanks are made of pine wood, where the ground maguey is placed and spring water is added. We control temperature, water quality, timing, oxygenation, and cleanliness to achieve complete fermentation.
We distill calmly, making careful
cuts to keep only the “heart” of the mezcal: clean, fragrant, and lasting. Two distillations are carried out to refine aromas and texture.
The first distillation is done in a copper still, and through a careful process, the vapor from the fermented mash is condensed to obtain the liquid of the first distillation. This liquid, also known as “ordinario,” is used for the second distillation, which yields the mezcal.
The liquid from the second distillation is separated into three parts: the heads and tails are removed, leaving only the heart of the mezcal—the central part that expresses the maguey clearly, prioritizing aroma, balance, and a clean finish, so the mezcal is fragrant, long, silky, and without harshness.
Before bottling, we let time do its work
by resting the mezcal in glass, so the spirit settles, its texture rounds out, and the notes of smoke, fruit, and minerality integrate.
This way, we refine the mezcal to achieve a silky texture and a clear finish. Each batch is small, numbered, and traceable, ensuring our mezcal retains the most delicate and pure flavors of the maguey.
