- Crafting Perfection with Maestro Gregorio Hernandez: Under the guidance of Maestro Mezcalero Gregorio Hernandez, this mezcal is produced using 100% Espadn agave, grown at elevations exceeding 5,500 feet. This high-altitude cultivation results in an agave with concentrated flavors, essential for creating a mezcal of unparalleled depth and complexity.

It’s then milled using a horse-driven stone tahona, blending tradition with the natural elements. The open-air wooden tank fermentation and double distillation in a traditional copper pot still at 47% ABV ensures that every bottle encapsulates the spirit of Santiago Matatln.
