PROCESS

OUR PROCESS

It is the reflection of a mezcal community, which generation after generation has left its love, dedication and knowledge in the elaboration of mezcal.

That is why we take care of each step and each stage, because we are sure that by preserving this tradition we bring to you a bit of the cultural and gastronomic diversity of Mexico, of which Mezcal V Sentidos is deeply proud.

We tell you how Mezcal V senses is made

HARVEST

It has been at least 6 years since the agave began to grow, the master mezcalero jimas the agave and transports the heavy "piñas" from the steep hill to the palenque.

COOKING

In the palenque we have a conical stone oven, in which the agave pineapples are placed and the heat covers them for three days, caramelizing the sugars.

GRINDING

The sweet and cooked pineapples are taken to the "tahona", a strong horse pulls a heavy wheel that grinds and destroys the maguey until obtaining a fine fiber.

FERMENTATION

A mixture of agave fibers and water is submerged in a wooden tub, for 12 days nature and its symbiosis will do their work and a "tepache" will be formed.

DISTILLATION

The "tepache" is taken to a copper still where the compounds are separated, breaking the first drop of the first distillate.

A GIFT FROM GODS

The distillation is repeated, the master mezcalero who with his experience has worked and supervised each step has achieved it, the mezcal is ready to be savored.
