The story behind it
The maker
Founded in 2011 by a group of Mexican friends, Mezcal Unión was created to preserve traditional artisanal mezcal production while empowering local oaxacan families. By establishing a cooperative structure, they ensure sustainable agricultural practices and fair wages for local maestro mezcaleros.
How it is made
This exceptional mezcal is produced in San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca, using traditional brick ovens and copper pot stills. It supports small-batch indigenous family producers through a collaborative fair-trade business model.
