Production Process:
Casamigos Mezcal is produced using traditional artisanal methods, ensuring the highest quality and authentic flavor:
Harvesting: Mature Espadín agave plants are hand-harvested by expert jimadores.
Roasting: The agave hearts (piñas) are roasted for 4-6 days in traditional underground pit ovens lined with volcanic rocks. This process imparts a distinct smoky flavor to the mezcal.
Crushing: The roasted agave is crushed using a traditional tahona (large stone wheel), extracting the rich juices.
Fermentation: The agave juice ferments for 2-8 days in open-air wooden vats, allowing wild yeasts to naturally ferment the sugars.
Distillation: The fermented mash is distilled twice in small copper pot stills, producing a smooth and refined spirit.
