To create Creyente Mezcal, only the finest quality Espadín agave is carefully harvested from the regions of Tlacolula and Yautepec. The heart, or piña, is then roasted using an artisanal method with mesquite wood in a horno conico de piedra, a traditional stone oven. This meticulous process takes three days, infusing the mezcal with its characteristic smoky aroma and taste.
The next step in the journey is grinding the roasted agave by hand using a molina de piedra, a stone mill. This traditional technique extracts the juices and preserves the essence of the agave. These precious juices are then fermented in wooden barrels, allowing the flavors to develop and mature naturally.
After fermentation, Creyente is distilled in small copper stills, capturing the true essence of the agave. The resulting mezcals from both regions are blended together, creating an extraordinary new mezcal that showcases the best of each terroir and character.
To fully immerse yourself in the rich culture and drinking rituals of mezcal, indulge in the mixología of Creyente. Rim your “veladora” shot glass with sal de gusano, made from crushed agave worms, chili, and salt. This integral part of the drinking ritual enhances the flavors of this untamed spirit. Savor each sip of Creyente Mezcal with a fresh orange wedge, further enhancing the nuances of its distinctive character.
