This mezcal is not just a drink; it represents a rich cultural heritage and meticulous artisanal process.

• Santiago Matatln: The Heart of Mezcal: Santiago Matatln, known as the “Heart of Mezcal” in Oaxaca, is a hub of mezcal distillation, rich in history and tradition. In this small yet significant town, the Corts family and other maestros create mezcales that are quality benchmarks, especially for the Espadn variety. This mezcal from Matatln is a shining example of the region’s deep-rooted expertise in mezcal production.
• 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.
• A Symphony of Traditional Methods: The agave for this mezcal is cooked in a conical earthen oven, imparting a unique smoky flavor. 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.
