Our Maestros Mezcaleros
Yaha-Yahui - Organic Mezcal has its roots in the family heritage of the two Maestros Mezcaleros Engracia Altamirano Montaño and her cousin Jose Manuel Lopez Montaño. Both grew up in a family with a deeply rooted tradition of making Mezcal and have developed a passionate relationship with this spirit.Seeing the consequences of an increasingly industrialized production they have made it their goal to make their process as sustainable as possible and in the same time keep traditional techniques alive. The result is a beautiful organic and artesanal Mezcal.
Ensamble as a Tradition
Traditionally, agaves, or as they are called in Mexico magueys, are sacred plants used by indigenous people for essentials such as medicine, food, alcoholic beverages, and even textiles. This is why Mezcal was always produced with great care. For centuries, the Maestros Mezcaleros have carefully selected a mix of different wild magueys - only what nature offered them - creating ensambles, a mix of various magueys.
Our organic Mezcal re-establishes this traditional and artisanal approach. In the mountains of Oaxaca, in Santa Maria Sola de Vega our Maestro Mezcalero cultivates semi-wild agaves and adapts his recipe to what nature offers. By doing so, each batch is a truly unique spirit with a distinct flavor palate.
Single variety Mezcal was occasionally produced in the past, but became quite popular in the 90s and is the most common form of Mezcal these days. While single variety Mezcals focus on the taste profile of the individual magueys ensamble Mezcals create a unique flavor profile differentiating from recipe to recipe.
