MACHETE & MALLET
Harvesting agaves is an art that is mastered by our jimadores. The harvest of a single agave needs at least two people: one with a machete to shave the agave, the other one with a hammer to knock off the engrained roots.

BOTTLING

Certified Mezcal
It is really important to do things right. That’s why we comply with Mexican regulations for mezcal certification. If it doesn’t have the hologram (silver stamp) it is not a certified mezcal. The hologram assures consumers our Mezcal Agua Santa is free of sugars, additives and follows the artisanal practices for our approved mezcal recipe.
