MEZCALUM: WHAT IS MEZCAL

Welcome to the spirited world of Mezcalum, where the essence of Mexico's rich heritage is captured in every bottle of our artisanal mezcal. Crafted with passion in the sun-drenched valleys of Oaxaca, Mezcalum is not just a drink; it's an experience that transports you to the heart of Mexican tradition. With a commitment to authenticity, natural ingredients, and sustainable practices, we're here to introduce you to the extraordinary world of mezcal. Let's dive into what makes our mezcal truly special.

What is Mezcal?

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit that has captivated the hearts of connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike with its complex flavors and smoky undertones. Distilled from the heart (or piña) of the agave plant, mezcal embodies the essence of Mexico's rich landscapes and cultural heritage. Unlike its cousin tequila, which is made exclusively from blue agave, mezcal can be produced from over 30 types of agave, each offering unique flavors and aromas.

How is Mezcalum's Mezcal Made?

At Mezcalum, our mezcal's journey from earth to glass is marked by meticulous care and ancestral wisdom. Our Maestro Mezcalero, Carlos Méndez Blas, leads this journey, ensuring that every step reflects our dedication to tradition and quality.

The Heart of Agave

Our story begins with the Espadin and Cuishe agave, hand-selected for their superior quality and unique flavor profiles. These agave plants thrive in the arid central valleys of Oaxaca, where the conditions are just right for cultivating these precious resources.

The Art of Roasting

Once harvested, the agave hearts are slowly roasted in earthen pits, lined with hot stones. This process, which can last several days, imbues the agave with its signature smoky flavor, a hallmark of artisanal mezcal.

Fermentation and Distillation

After roasting, the agave is crushed and naturally fermented in wooden vats, allowing the sugars to transform into alcohol. The liquid is then distilled in copper pot stills, a method that dates back centuries. This artisanal approach ensures a mezcal of unparalleled purity and depth.
