PRODUCTION
The process of artisanal mezcal production is a
traditional art passed down through generations in the
producing regions of Mexico.
It is hand-harvested from agave plants aged
between 7 and 25 years. There are over 30 types of
agaves used in mezcal production, with the most popular
being Espadín, Tóbala, Madre Cuishe, and Tepeztate.
Espadín and Tóbala are agaves that have already been
domesticated, meaning they can be cultivated.
COPPER DISTILLATION
The use of copper stills in mezcal distillation helps
improve the quality, purity, and flavor of the final product,
while also aiding in the removal of unwanted compounds and enhancing the efficiency of the distillation process.
Copper stills were introduced by Spanish colonizers, who
brought with them distillation techniques and copper
equipment used in the production of other spirits such as
wine and brandy.
Since then, the process of distillation in copper stills has
been an integral part of artisanal mezcal production in
Mexico.
There are many advantages to this material in terms of thermal conductivity, chemical reaction, and purification for the distillate.
