Mezcal De Leyendas Maguey Ancho Guerrero

About Mezcal de Leyendas Maguey Ancho Guerrero

Mezcal de Leyendas is focused on bringing artisanal mezcals using rare and unique agaves from different regions within Mexico. Instead of focusing on one particular type, their aim is to use the most prevalent agaves from each region allowing them to guide the consumer across the entire DO of mezcal. These are sourced from diverse regions, highlighting the local terroir as well as showcasing the skills of local Maestros Mezcaleros. Each region ― be it Durango, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, or San Luis Potosi ― features one master producer of mezcal.

But they do far more than just that. In 2005 they opened the first Mexico City establishment that only sells artisanal mezcal helping spark the boom we see in mezcal today. They organize festivals and work to help the industry grow, educate, and take part in projects that deal with sustainability and fair trade ― both crucial aspects of securing a bright future for the famous Mexican spirits.

Don Oscar Obregón is a mezcalero through-and-through. He’s the 4th generation of mezcal distillers in the family, famous for his attention to detail. He crafts his spirit in Sierra Madre Oriental using 100% agave cupreata. These take between 7 and 10 years to mature beside an oak forest. After the plants are sustainably harvested, they are meticulously cooked in an underground pit for 4 days, crushed in a mechanical mill, open-air fermented for 3 days, and double-distilled in copper-pot stills ― with the mezcalero watching over each detail at his fábrica. Bottled at 90 proof, this mezcal is full of character.
