This is made with agave Penca Verde which is labeled as ‘Agave Sp’ meaning it is an unclassified species. It has been hypothesized that it may be a type of wild Agave Angustifolia. This mezcal is made by maestro mezcalero Valentin Celis in Zimatlan, Oaxaca. Once cooked and crushed, the agave are fermented in clay pots, and then distilled in a small clay pot still.

Farolito Mezcal is from the famous bar in Oaxaca City called In Situ Mezcaleria. There, Ulises and Sandra have created a library by supporting small mezcal producer. It is a place for aavid mezcal drinkers to learn and explore more the complex world of agave. Extending on that experience, they bring Farolito to the United States for the first time.
