Origin — Distillery located in Santiago Matatlán, world capital of mezcal. Angustifolia/Espadín agave reaches maturity and ideal sugar concentration between 8 and 12 years. The piñas are slowly roasted in earthen pits, milled by stone tahona, naturally fermented in wooden barrels, and distilled twice in copper stills. Every batch carries the signature of the valley climate.
