The origin story
FROM THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS OF OAXACA

The immense piñas, weighing up to 80 kilograms, are carried down from the mountain by donkey before beginning their transformation.Gentle, slow roasting in below-ground pits reveals the agave's delicate floral and green-fruit character. The piñas are then machine-crushed without the use of animals and double-distilled in copper stills.No additives. No shortcuts. Just rare, wild mezcal with intensely floral, vegetal and perfumed qualities unlike any other agave spirit.Green grape, green apple and melon meet rosemary, flowers, ginger and lactic acidity.
