THE PROCESS
OUR MEZCAL
The character of the mezcal comes from three factors: terroir (the soil and weather conditions of the land where the agave is grown), the type of agave plant, and the local knowledge and raditions that were passed from generation to generation.
Victorioso Mezcal utilize an artisanal approach toward production to create an unadulterated style of mezcal. Our mezcalero, Eugenio Sernas, only uses mature agave that have been tested for the sweetness with the highest level of sugar to ensure our mezcal gets the best possible flavors. In keeping with the 200-year-old tradition, the agave hearts (pina) are cooked in earthen pit ovens, later to be crushed by a circular millstone known as a tahona. Then left in wooden barrels to ferment in the open-air allowing the sugars to break down and naturally occurring yeast thrive. The mezcal is then distilled by hand in traditional copper pots.
Victorioso Mezcal make sure that our mezcal is no less than 45% ABV, any lower would not allow for the agave to open its properties, which would give you the best experience. Our production methods and family recipes result in high quality pure spirit that give you the best mezcal drinking experience.
