AGAVE
The agave feeds off of the ground and the sun, soaking in the rich nutrients from the land around it. The type of soil, altitude, humidity, sun exposure, and geography all leave their mark on the plant, making each agave is a unique reflection of its surroundings.
WATER
In order for agave to make its ultimate transformation to mezcal, the agave is crushed into fibers and water is added to begin the fermentation process. We only uses natural spring water from the flowing streams of the surrounding mountainsides.
LOVE
Without love, there is no mezcal. Each step of the process, from the time the agave seed is planted until the last sip is enjoyed, must be treated with care and respect. As you drink our Mezcal, we ask that you show the spirit the same love and respect as those that created it.
We exclusively works with small-batch, multi-generational family Mezcaleros in Durango and Oaxaca who focus on sustainability and the heritage of the craft above all else. We currently work with two amazing mezcaleros and their families who have been sustainably living off of the agave plant for four generations using the same artisanal and ancestral methods that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Jorge Burciaga
Before taking over the family mezcal business, Jorge went to college in the U.S. to study business and returned home with a clear vision on how to grow the family's production without losing its authenticity and sustainability.
The wild Cenizo agave, which grows in abundance throughout the Durango region, has sustained the Burciaga family for decades, yet it's their stringent production methods that has led to their continued success and now, our award-winning Cenizo Mezcal.
Jorge mainly uses traditional production methods using natural spring water and manual crushing (Axe) of the roasted agave. This extremely labor intensive step (that most skip) allows for uniformity in the size of the agave fibers and a balanced fermentation process leading to a more consistent product.
To minimize his environmental impact, Jorge repurposes the waste of his mezcal production into adobe bricks which are then donated to the town for buildings and other structures.
Honorato Cruz
Honorato Cruz and his family hail from the 500-person indigenous Zapotec village of Santa Ana del Río, Oaxaca where nearly every member of this town has worked with agave, building an encyclopedic knowledge of mezcal production passed down through the generations.
Along with his brothers, Honorato Cruz crafts his mezcal using only traditional methods and the highest quality agave.
To ensure the sustainability of the more rare Tobalá and Tepeztate agave plants, Honorato allows 50% of the plants to reach full maturity in order to be pollinated by the local bat population. The unorthodox process fosters biodiversity and ensures a future abundance of the plant.
