Welcome to the birthplace of mezcal: Oaxaca, Mexico.

​

When the Spanish conquerors arrived 400 years ago, they taught distillation techniques to Mexico's native inhabitants and the first distilled spirit in the Americas was born: Mezcal! Oaxaca is one of Mexico's impoverished states; however, the stakes are high, as the world begins to learn about the authenticity of mezcal and its production.

​

One of the important drinks of rustic, rural Oaxaca: Mezcal is the traditional toast of choice at ceremonial occasions such as baptisms, weddings, and town fiestas. 

​

A vital aspect of native Zapotec and Mixtec culture, Mezcal is slowly becoming sought-after and highly regarded by fine spirits connoisseurs around the world.
