Del Real de Otzumatlán

Artisanal Mezcal

Mezcal with a unique flavor

Our Mezcal is made exclusively with Inaequidens agave, a maguey endemic to the high mountains of the Sierra Michoacana. This agave takes 8 to 15 years to mature. Our entire process is artisanal but the main characteristic is that we add pulque during fermentation, an ancestral and unique process. This is due to the low temperatures in the area, which helps us to start the fermentation.

We are an authentic mezcal that offers the flavors and aromas of the land where it is born, which are a reflection of the hard work and tradition of this small town in the Sierra Michoacana.

Our Story

Mezcal del Real was born from colonial times upriver in the high mountains of Mil Cumbres Michoacán.

El Real de Otzumatlán was an old Spanish gold and silver mining town. Just one sip was worth tasting for the tireless miners, to re-enhance their tired spirits at the end of their search for precious minerals under the mountain.

Since 1899 the Soto family has preserved the tradition and ancestral methods following the original family recipe using the same tools and techniques that were used generations ago.

Our Process

Agave inaequidens salvaje: Being a wild agave that grows in very few areas of Mexico makes it a special and unique agave.

Cooking: The already harvested agave is placed in a conical stone oven and baked underground for 8 days with oak wood.

Grinding: We grind it entirely by hand in a wooden canoe. An ancient technique that very few mezcals can boast.

Distillation: Our distillation is done in a Philippine wooden still. This process is done twice to obtain the best flavors and aromas.
