Distillery Information

In 1997, when identical twins Jaim and Gustavo Muoz wanted Mezcal for their five restaurants, including the well-known Los Danzantes in the city of Oaxaca, they purchased a small distillery. Working with Karina Abad Rojas, a trained lab chemist, since 2009, the team exclusively uses agave Espadn for their Mezcal production. Once the agave are harvested by hand, they are delivered to the distillery where they are cut, one by one, into smaller pieces and roasted in a below-ground fire pit, using mesquite for fuel. After roasting for three days, the agaves are crushed and juiced using a traditional stone mill, and then the milled solids and juice are transferred to open-top 300-gallon wood fermentation vats. Fermented with natural yeast for one to two weeks, the juices and solids are then distilled twice, in small copper pot stills. It takes 14 pounds of agave to craft 1 bottle. The Blanco is released almost immediately, while the Reposado is aged in French Nevers oak casks for 9-12 months, and the very limited Aejo for 18-24 months.
