OUR ARTISANAL PROCESS

1
HARVEST

Utilizing 100% natural agricultural methods that have been passed down for 5 generations, La Bendición harvests both wild and cultivated agave plants that are selected at peak maturity by our master mezcaleros. The leaves are then removed from the piña or heart of the agave.

2
ROASTING

Dug into the ground, conical earthen ovens lined with volcanic stones, reclaimed mesquite & oak wood, soil, and river stones are filled with piñas and covered with bagasse and soil. The piñas are cooked and rested for 4 to 5 days.

3
MILLING

The roasted piñas are double cut and transferred to an above ground pit where it is crushed by a traditional horse-drawn 3-ton stone wheel. The sweet fruit breaks down into a mash.

4
FERMENTATION

The mash is put into open air sabino wood vats where they are set to rest for 4 to 6 days in pure spring water as the wild ambient yeasts convert the mash into “tepache”.

5
DISTILLATION

The tepache is placed into copper alembic pot stills, heated to an exact temperature for 2 days where they are double-distilled in small batches to achieve the smoothest expression of the agave.

IN SOME REGIONS AGAVE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CORN
