Savor the Essence of San Baltazar Guelavila Mezcal
Indulge in the exceptional Mezcal from San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca, meticulously crafted by Maestro Mezcalero Gregorio “Don Goyo” Martinez. This mezcal celebrates tradition, terroir, and the masterful art of mezcal making.
- A Journey to San Baltazar Guelavila: Nestled in the Tlacolula district, San Baltazar Guelavila is renowned for its fertile, limestone-rich soil, creating the perfect environment for cultivating agave. The high elevation of over 5,000 ft contributes to the development of agave with concentrated sugars, resulting in a refined Espadín of remarkable character and extraordinary length.
- Artisanal Mastery by Don Goyo: Guided by the experienced hands of Maestro Mezcalero Don Goyo, each batch of mezcal is a testament to the beauty of natural processes. The agave is cooked in a traditional conical earthen oven and milled with a horse-driven stone tahona, preserving the soul of artisanal mezcal making.
- Unique Fermentation & Distillation: The mezcal’s distinct profile is shaped by natural fermentation in open-air wooden tanks, known as tinas. The presence of roses and lime trees, nurtured alongside the tinas by Don Goyo, adds a unique touch to the fermentation process. Distilled twice using traditional copper pot stills, the mezcal reaches a perfect 47% ABV, offering a pure and authentic taste of Oaxaca.

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.
