Nuestra Soledad Sta Zoq Mezcal

Description

Nuestra Soledad Santa Mara Zoquitln Mezcal is a testament to the artistry and tradition of mezcal production in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. This exquisite spirit hails from the charming village of Santa Mara Zoquitln, a place steeped in natural beauty and cultural heritage. Nestled between rugged ridgelines and fertile river basins, this village of around 1,600 people is a hidden gem in the world of mezcal production.

Don Chucho, whose full name is Ignacio Parada, is the visionary mezcalero behind Nuestra Soledad Santa Mara Zoquitln Mezcal. With the assistance of his son, Jos Parada Valera, they carefully harvest wild and semi-cultivated agave plants from the diverse and vibrant mountain soils found right in their backyard. Don Chucho is a true pioneer, having joined the Casa Corts collective of mezcal producers in 2007, and he now takes pride in imparting his expertise to the next generation, working side by side with his son to craft exceptional mezcals for Nuestra Soledad and El Jolgorio.
