Mezcal| 47.4% ABV

Commercial Description:

New label, same great taste.
“To” Pedro Pascual Hernandez is the master behind this quintessential Santa Catarina Minas classic “mezcal,” the local parlance for a co-roast, co-ferment, and co-distillation of two or more agave varieties.

1. New label. All batches made by To Pedro and his nephew Lalo Barriga will now be sporting this image, a direct homage to the 100-liter clay pot stills that are produced in Santa Maria Atzompa and traditionally used in Santa Catarina Minas.
2. To Pedro’s clay pot still in action.
3. Tobaziche waiting to be roasted.
4. Co-roast with Tobala, Espadin and Cuixe.
5. The wood-like base of agave Tobaziche make them even more difficult to mash by hand with wooden mallets, however, To Pedro insists on keeping this traditional method alive at his palenque “La Esperanza.”
6. El mero maestro himself.
7. Not only is To Pedro’s mezcal traditional, so are his agricultural practices. To Pedro’s front yard milpa seen here.
