Ancestral Mezcal | Handcrafted Production | Clay Pot Distilled | 750mL

Process & Profile

Código 1530 Ancestral Mezcal is produced using traditional ancestral mezcal methods that emphasize authenticity, patience, and deep respect for heritage techniques. Mature agave is cooked in earthen pit ovens, slowly roasted underground to develop smoky, earthy depth. The cooked agave is then crushed using a stone tahona and fermented naturally before being distilled in traditional clay pot stills, a hallmark of ancestral mezcal production. This meticulous, old-world approach yields a mezcal that is expressive, textural, and layered, capturing the raw character of agave and the environment in which it is made.
