Process & Production

Alipús San Andrés Mezcal is handcrafted in the village of San Andrés, Oaxaca, using a carefully selected blend of Espadín and Bicuishe agave harvested at peak maturity. Espadín contributes balance and approachable sweetness, while the wild Bicuishe agave adds earthy, herbal, and mineral-driven complexity.

Following traditional mezcal-making techniques, the agave piñas are slowly roasted in underground earthen pit ovens fueled by wood and volcanic stone. After roasting, the agave is crushed, naturally fermented, and distilled in small copper stills to preserve the unique characteristics of each agave variety and the terroir of the region.

The result is a handcrafted mezcal that captures the authentic flavors of Oaxaca while highlighting the distinctive personality of both Espadín and Bicuishe.
