ARTISAN MEZCAL 1920
"For all bad mezcal, for all good too"
Mezcal, a drink so old that it saw the birth of what is now Mexico, is impregnated with the mysteries and magic of the ancient civilizations that flourished in our territory. Its mere mention refers us to the rituals of other days.
​
Scholars define the mezcal maguey as a plant with large, fleshy leaves with spears at the ends. In the center is where the pineapple or stock is formed, which is used to extract the liquid that will become mezcal.
The distillation process, a legacy of the Spanish and Europeans, thanks to the Arabs, was introduced to Mexico in the 16th century; It spread in the 17th century and was in common use from the 18th century. It was then that distilled alcohol began to be manufactured and drunk in the country.
Mezcal is produced almost everywhere in Mexico where there are agaves. The northern and Oaxacan mezcals are famous, but there is almost no place where mezcal is not made. Also mezcal, although it is later than pulque, has its myth,
​
A lightning, when hitting an agave, was the one who made the first tatema. That is why mezcal is considered the drink that came from heaven.
​
The name Agave comes from the Greek and means admirable. This name was chosen by Carl von Linnaeus, a Swedish naturalist, to classify the botanical family of the magueyes in the year 1753.
