SAN BARTOLO MEZCAL MAGUEY ESPADIN VALENTIN JOVEN MEZCAL ARTESANAL

Rooted in the remote Yautepec Valley of Oaxaca, San Bartolo Mezcal represents four generations of traditional knowledge through Maestro Mezcalero Valentin Martinez Lopez, officially recognized as a "Mezcal Cultural Treasure" by the Mezcal Regulatory Council. Founded by Mexican immigrants in New York City but produced in the ancestral homeland of San Bartolo Yautepec, this artisanal spirit embodies the core values of tradition, quality, culture, and honesty that guide every aspect of production. The family's intricate understanding of historical distillation methods, combined with their commitment to sustainability and quality improvement, creates a distinctive mezcal characterized by delicate herbal notes, fresh minerality, and remarkably clean smoke. This exceptional expression allows Lopez and his grandson to honor their village heritage while sharing their multi-generational craft with discerning spirits enthusiasts worldwide who appreciate authentic, sustainable agave spirits crafted through time-honored techniques.
