The story behind it
The maker
Monte Alban is named after the ancient Zapotec ruins located high on a hill overlooking the Valley of Oaxaca. Established as a leading export brand, it introduced millions of consumers globally to the authentic heritage of Mexican mezcal with its signature bottle worm.
How it is made
Distilled in the historic state of Oaxaca, this spirit represents centuries of traditional mezcal production. It is produced from selected Espadin agave plants cooked in traditional underground pit ovens to instill its signature smoky character.
From Oaxaca, Mexico
