Mezcal Ancestral

Mezcal Macurichos

With a strong focus on community, Mezcal Macurichos employs numerous neighbors and is one of only a handful of distillers in the area who still produce using Ancestral methods, including clay pot stills. Gonzalo and his brothers cultivate their own diverse fields of agave—planting from seed and reforesting the diminishing wild agave populations—and use exclusively organic farming practices with love and respect. 

 

To enjoy a bottle of Mezcal Macurichos visit Tahona Mercado, proud carriers of Mezcal Macurichos and Casa de Chocolates chocolates.
