In the heart of Oaxaca, nestled in the lush highlands of Santa María Ecatepec, our mezcal brand is born through time-honored artisanal methods passed down for generations. Every step of the process — from hand-harvesting agave to slow roasting it over earthen pits — is done with an unwavering respect for tradition and the land. What sets our mezcal apart is its infusion with elote (corn), a deeply rooted symbol of Mexican heritage, resulting in a spirit that celebrates both craftsmanship and culture.
Our Mezcal de Elote carries the soulful aroma of roasted agave interwoven with the comforting sweetness of toasted corn. On the nose, it offers delicate notes of fresh masa, vanilla, and a gentle earthiness that speaks of the fertile Oaxacan soil. The palate opens with a soft, creamy texture, revealing layers of smoky agave, warm cornmeal, and hints of honey and spice.
The production process honors centuries-old techniques: mature agave is cooked in underground ovens, crushed by a traditional tahona stone, and fermented naturally in wooden vats. After a double distillation in small copper stills, a carefully selected portion of roasted corn is introduced, allowing the spirit to absorb its signature elote character without overpowering the natural agave flavor. The result is a mezcal that is both profoundly traditional and uniquely expressive.
Each bottle tells the story of Santa María Ecatepec — its valleys, its farmers, and its resilient spirit. Our Mezcal de Elote invites you to savor not only a remarkable spirit but a living tradition, crafted with patience, pride, and a profound connection to the land. Whether sipped neat or paired with Oaxacan cuisine, it offers a deeply authentic taste of Mexico’s rich and vibrant mezcal heritage.
