The Artisanal Mastery of Santa Maria Zoquitlán Mezcal
Immerse yourself in the rich tradition and exceptional quality of Mezcal produced in Santa Maria Zoquitlán, Oaxaca. This mezcal, crafted by the esteemed Maestro Mezcaleros José Parada and Ignacio “Don Chucho” Parada, is a testament to their dedication and skill in creating outstanding spirits.
- Legacy of Don Chucho and José Parada: Ignacio “Don Chucho” Parada, a celebrated figure in the mezcal industry, has passed down his profound knowledge and passion for mezcal production to his son, José. Together, they distill various rare agave varieties, including the family's prized Espadín, creating mezcales of exceptional quality. José's return from the U.S. to join his father has further elevated their mezcal to new heights, making it a must-try for connoisseurs.
- Traditional Craftsmanship: Each batch of this mezcal is made from 100% Espadín agave, carefully cooked in a conical earthen oven to extract rich flavors. The agave is then ground using a horse-driven stone tahona, a time-honored method that imparts a unique character to the mezcal. The natural fermentation in open-air wooden tanks and double distillation in traditional copper pot stills culminate in a mezcal with a robust 48% ABV, capturing the essence of Santa Maria Zoquitlán's terroir.
- A Taste of Oaxaca's Finest: This mezcal is not just a drink; it's a celebration of heritage, skill, and the land of Oaxaca. The deep flavors and aromas reflect the dedication and love that go into each bottle, offering a truly exceptional mezcal experience. The high ABV ensures a strong, yet smooth taste, making each sip a journey through the rich history and culture of Santa Maria Zoquitlán.

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.
