Mezcal making process
- 01 -
SELECTION AND CUTTING
After taking care of the agave plants, the best ones are selected. It is important not to accelerate the process, respecting their natural growth: and being very careful on cutting so that the plant does not suffer any kind of stress.
- 02 -
COOKING

- 03 -
GRINDING
Once the pineapples of the agave have cooled, they are placed in a pink quarry mill pulled by mares and crushed until completely crumbled.
- 04 -
FERMENTATION
In bales of pine wood the bagasse is placed, which the mezcal masters mix with river water and leave fermenting to the exact point.
- 05 -
DISTILLING
The product resulting from the fermentation is introduced into copper stills, following in the steps of the mezcalero master. Thus, a careful double distillation is obtained, obtaining the mastery in each bottle.
