THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION
Born from centuries of ancient mezacalero craft and enlightened by the methodical pursuit of true perfection.
Meticulously crafted, artisanally produced and strikingly balanced, Montelobos mezcal is an experience unto itself.
Montelobos is an unmistakable symbol of Mexican territory and craftsmanship. A unique spirit, meticulously crafted with the same traditional and artisanal mezcal techniques used for 500 years.When tasting Montelobos you explore and celebrate all the abundant flavours of the highest quality organic agave.
TEQUILA or MEZCAL?
Most mezcal is still produced largely the way it has been. It is distilled from maguey, a species of agave plant that comes in many different varieties. To make a proper mezcal, you must first harvest the agave piñas and then roast them for days in an underground fire pit. It is from here that mezcal takes its distinctive smoky flavor. The piñas are typically ground using a horse or mule-drawn tahona and the mash, or tepache, is left in stone, leather or wood vats to ferment. Once fermented, the liquid is distilled in copper or clay stills and the mezcal is complete.
Tequila is made only from the blue agave variety and produced in much larger volumes in a more modern, mechanized fashion. For most tequilas, the autoclaves and brick ovens where pinas and agave hearts are cooked operate using pressurized steam produced in petrol boilers. Unlike artisanal mezcal, there is no fire pit involved. The fibers from the steam-cooked agave are separated from the juices, producing a very different flavor.
