How is mezcal made?

From the agave fields to the distillery, each step in the production of mezcal is a tribute to environmental care and the cultural legacy of generations.

  • Passed 1

    Plant

    It all starts with selecting the finest agave varieties. We plant carefully and responsibly, avoiding deforestation, ensuring each plant has the right environment to thrive.

  • Passed 2

    Growth

    Agave or maguey is the type of plant used in the production of mezcal and must be allowed to grow until it reaches maturity.

  • Passed 3

    Harvesting (Jima)

    It all starts with selecting the most mature agaves to be harvested and pulled from the ground.

  • Passed 4

    Cooking

    The cooked pineapples are used to convert the starches into sugars and obtain the smoky note.

  • Passed 5

    Milling

    The cooked piñas are crushed to extract their juices. The leftover fibers are called bagazo.

  • Passed 6

    Fermentation

    The juices and fibers (bagazo) are fermented in wooden vats with added water, converting the sugars into alcohol and producing the must.

  • Passed 7

    Distillation

    The must is heated in a still to release the alcohol. The alcohol must be distilled twice to produce mezcal.
