Maestros de Mezcal Tepextate de Altos Valles Oaxaca Pascual Cansecos

Mezcaloteca promotes Maestro Master Mezcaleros and their traditional process of production. Their passion is to transcend and conserve their stories for future mezcaleros.

There are several distillates from maguey that are found in the Mezcaloteca collection and come from different regions of Mexico. These have to abide by the rules and strict requirements to be cataloged in their universe of products.

Mezcalosfera is a small branch that focuses on these small producers that have an extreme passion for their craft, handed down from generation to generation.

Maestro mezcaleros are born into a long-standing tradition of mezcal production inherited from their fathers and grandfathers; they begin to learn the processes during childhood, helping on the family ranch where they practice this specialized knowledge passed down from generation to generation. The mastery of the tools, processes, care and selection of magueyes that maestro mezcaleros have varies from region to region and is tied to the natural and cultural environment that its inhabitants have developed over generations. This results in historic taste, the traditional taste. By definition, each Maestro Mezcalero is attached to the particular taste of his region. Without the traditional maestros mezcaleros we would lose the biological and cultural wealth that mezcal provides to Mexico, as they are the keepers of this knowledge and the only experts alongside the people at the origin of mezcales.
