About this Mezcal

Mezcal Local is a Pechuga de Maguey – it is distilled with agave hearts and fruit but without meat. Leonel Hernández (Don Gil), a third-generation master mezcalero, produces his mezcal in San Pablo Villa de Mitla. Mezcal Local is produced with 100% Espadin agave, harvested after 10 years. The agaves are cooked underground for 3 days, ground with an Egyptian mill, and then fermented in wooden vats for 10 days. During the distillation process, agave hearts and a combination of fruits (apple, peach, banana and orange) are added to the still. The heart of the agave acts as a natural purifier and the fruits add a wide range of distinctive flavor notes. This mezcal is distilled twice in copper.

The importance they give to the concept of sharing meant that the company created something more than just a product: it created an experience for its customers. Their first mezcal is a Pechuga de Maguey produced by Leonel Hernández in San Pablo Villa de Mitla.
