Process & Production

Alipús San Juan Mezcal is handcrafted in San Juan del Río, Oaxaca, using mature 100% Espadín agave carefully harvested to capture its rich natural sugars and distinctive character.

Following centuries-old mezcal traditions, the agave piñas are slowly roasted in underground earthen pit ovens fueled by wood and volcanic stone. Once roasted, the agave is crushed, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats, and distilled in traditional copper stills to preserve the authentic flavors of the agave and the unique terroir of San Juan del Río.

The result is a mezcal that balances roasted agave sweetness with delicate smoke, herbal freshness, and mineral complexity, creating a refined yet authentic expression of Oaxaca.
