HERODES Mezcal

San Luis Amatlán belongs to the district of Miahuatlán, in the Sierra Sur region. The region stands out from the rest of the state for its high quality production of Espadín agaves. The production of Herodes Mezcal follows a 100% artisanal process: The agaves are first cooked in conical ovens under the ground, giving them that slight smoky aroma. They are then passed through a circular mill (tahona chilena type) before being fermented in wooden vats made of jocotes (a local species). Finally, they are distilled twice in copper stills to create this sacred elixir.
