This is made with wild agave Tepextate which can take up to 25 years to grow. All of their expressions are cooked in an underground pit, crushed using a tahona, naturally fermented and distilled in copper stills.

Cruz de Fuego Mezcal is made by a mother-son duo Margarita Blas and Carlos Mendez Blas. They both live and work in Santiago Matatlan using similar traditional techniques in their mezcal production.
