THE HARVEST

The heart of the Mezcalero and the heart of the Agave.

There are more than 14 different varietals of agave for making mezcal. We use ours from the nutrient-dense valleys and mountainsides of Oaxaca. Using our knowledge and expertise to find Espadin & Barril agave hearts, known as ‘piñas’, that are ready to be harvested.

THE COOKING

LIKE THE HUMAN HEART, THE AGAVE PIÑA  CONTAINS A SPIRIT THAT MUST BE  AWAKENED.

There are more than 14 different varietals of agave for making mezcal. We use ours from the nutrient-dense valleys and mountainsides of Oaxaca. Using our knowledge and expertise to find Espadin & Barril agave hearts, known as ‘piñas’, that are ready to be harvested.

GRINDING AND FERMENTATION

WE BELIEVE THE MEZCAL CANNOT BE MASS-PRODUCED BECAUSE THE MAGIC CONTAINED IN EVERY DROP IS EXTINGUISHED WHEN YOU SKIP STEPS, OR TRY TO HURRY THE PROCESS.

The cold ensamble process begins with cooking the piñas of Espadín and Barril together to create a deeper, sophisticated flavor. The piñas are then separated, grinded and the mash is then collected and placed in large wooden vats and left to ferment for days, until the Master Mezcalero decides it is time to distill.

Our mezcal is double distilled in copper before being cold blended back together and then bottled. This results in a softening of the intensity of the smoke allowing the other notes of the varietals to evolve.

The Distillation

Distillation of Campante begins when the master mezcalero feels that the mash has had enough time to devolp

Campante is double distilled in copper before being cold blended back together and then bottled, which leaves us with a silvery liquid of 40% ABV. This softens the intensity of the smoke allowing the other notes of the varietals to evolve. The result, the smoothest mezcal around. 

CRAFTSMANSHIP

OUR SPIRIT IS NOT JUST A DRINK, IT’S AN ART FORM.

Our method is steeped in tradition and craftsmanship, our Master Mezcalero's expertise is passed down over the centuries. We take pride in the slow, meticulous process of making our Mezcal.
