Craft-method distillation is what we believe in. Artisan mezcal is a world-class spirit. Great product deserves an audience. Many of the best distillers produce only tiny batches. The only way to keep this wonderful thing going is by making it more widely available.

Each Mezcalero bottling is true to the fundamental batch nature of artisan mezcal production. Each bottling is distilled from a single integral batch of agaves that are at least 50% wild or semi-wild, and usually 100%. “Silvestran” agaves take a lot of work to harvest: searching for days in the mountains, packing the agaves back on burros. Then it takes a month of continuous labor to produce a single batch, usually 600-700 bottles.   MORE ABOUT MEZCALERO

About Mezcal
Mezcalero
MEZCALERO Special No. 6: Hand-distilled December, 2022, by Rodolfo Juan Juarez in San Juan del Rio from Maguey Azul (agave tequilana), the agave used by statute for tequila. The richness and complexity of this mezcal in comparison with tequilas vividly demonstrate the value of including the agave solids in fermentation and distillation.

MEZCALERO No. 27: Hand-distilled May 2019 by Rodolfo Juan Juarez in San Juan del Rio from wild tepeztate (agave marmorum), wild jabali (agave convallis), and cultivated espadín (agave angustifolia).The use of jabali is noteworthy: intensity married to earthy fruitiness; it makes wonderful mezcal but is notoriously difficult to distill. Espadín, broadly round in flavor, is the perfect backdrop for wild agaves. Special stuff. Only 18 bottles available from the 240 bottle batch.

MEZCALERO Special No. 5: An ensamble (blended at roasting) of wild cenizo (agave durangensis) and 60% espadín (agave angustifolia) hand-distilled May 2019 by Don Rubén Solis Lozano in La Constancia, Durango. The upland agaves were wood-roasted, crushed by hand, fermented in a wood-covered underground pit using wild yeasts, double distilled in a 300-liter copper potstill, and bottled in August of 2019. The tiny cenizo is notoriously difficult to distill. Beautifully balanced: the calm rich espadín is perfect backdrop to the feral intensity of the wild cenizo. 960 bottles.
