Mezcal San Honesto

About the Mezcal...

Mezcal San Honesto is made from Sierra Negra agave from the mountains of San Juan del Río, Tlacolula, Oaxaca. It was covered in an underground conic stone-oven on Monday September 29, 2008 (new moon's day) in Los Danzantes Distillery in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. It was ground with a millstone by José and el Zabache (the mule) and was organically fermented with the help of classical music. It was distilled and refined in a cooper still and was finished in October 30, 2008 with a total of 215 liters 49% alc.vol.

This project is trying to help families of Mexico who have been producing traditional organic Mezcal for over 300 years; and are in danger of disappearing because of industrialized mezcal. This project's aim is to save this honest tradition from getting lost and show it to the world.

You may taste Mezcal San Honesto at Barra de Mezcales San Honesto, in the Mezcaleria Corazon de Maguey in Coyoacan, in the Restaurant Capicua in the Condesa and in Los Danzantes Restaurant in Coyoacan, Oaxaca and Playa del Carmen.
