Exclusive and Exquisite: The Rarity of Maguey Mexicano
El Yope Mexicano 750ML is an extraordinary mezcal, distinguished by its rarity and unique flavor. Crafted from the scarce maguey Mexicano (Agave Rhodacantha) that grows on Don Ismael’s ranch in San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca, this mezcal is a prized possession for enthusiasts and collectors. The limited availability of maguey Mexicano makes El Yope Mexicano a sought-after spirit, offering a unique opportunity to experience one of the rarest mezcals in the world.
Tradition Meets Purity: Kosher and Organic Certified
Upholding the highest quality and sustainability standards, El Yope Mexicano is both Kosher and Organic Certified. This dual certification marks purity and ethical production, ensuring each bottle is a product of natural processes and respectful cultivation. For the discerning buyer who values sustainability and tradition, El Yope Mexicano is an exemplary choice, embodying the true spirit of artisanal mezcal.
A Symphony of Flavors: The Artisanal Process
The creation of El Yope Mexicano is an art form guided by the expert hands of Mezcalero Don Ismael Rosales. The process begins with cooking the agave in an underground pit oven and then crushing it with a traditional tahona. The fermentation occurs in wooden tubs, allowing natural yeasts to impart complex flavors, and concludes with a double distillation in a copper still. This meticulous process results in a mezcal with deep, nuanced flavors that resonate with every sip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
