In order to see the full process of creating Mestizo Mezcal, you must travel 40 minutes outside the city of Oaxaca to the village of Matatlán where you will find palenques (artisanal mezcal factories) lining the main road, each selling its own home-brew. In this small village of Santiago Matatlán, mezcal continues to be produced through the same artisanal process that the Zapotecs used more than four centuries ago. Each mezcalero adds his own special touch to differentiate his mezcal. Mestizo Mezcal is no exception. Mestizo Mezcal is a handcrafted spirit made of 100% Agave Espadín and has a distinctive, aromatic complex flavor. Mestizo Mezcal works with its producers from Matatlán to enrich the taste of our artisanal product and create a perfect “mestizaje” of cultures within each bottle.
