With 7 different mezcals under our belt, it was time to make an homage and pay tribute to all the families who have opened the doors of their homes and have given us their trust. A gratefulness to the Maestros Mezcaleros who have shared with us their experience and lessons passed down from generation to generation, and of course our great Mexico that everyday surprises us with all the culture that comes from its roots. With an annual production of only 500 liters and one unique recipe in each edition, this mezcal celebrates the friendship among Mexicans which prove that no matter what our origins are, if we want to, we can do wonderful things like taking many people in different countries the traditions and heritage of our country.

Once the first mezcal was presented and after re-discovering the scents and flavors of this distillate, it was the time to continue with the Sola de Vega agave variety legacy that had to offer us. This agave was named for its resemblance to a barrel once the leaves were cut and it was ready to be cooked in the traditional underground earth oven, this agave unlike the others has a kind of stem, so it looks more like a tree than an Espadín agave. Unlike Espadín, this agave offers more earthy and herbal tones which place it in a totally opposite position from our first mezcal. This meant that we could have two different proposals.

For many, this mezcal is a bit unknown, descendent from the Rhodacantha family and similar in size to and agave Espadín, it was chosen to offer a shortlist of three mezcals that is well balanced with each other. Having 2 mezcals which were at opposite poles, it was time to find a middle ground that could shorten the distance between them, beside offering a new proposal to our palates. This agave in particular, is the least we produce in the company due to the high difculty of getting it, as of today after 5 years we have not produced more than 1,000 bottles, that’s why we consider it our best kept secret.

In one of the visits we made to Sola de Vega, we had an unusual encounter in the agave fields with a plant that nearly identical to the Arroqueño, but had some minor differences that only a true connoisseur could appreciate. Don Antonio explained us that being very close relatives, sometimes to the naked eye they cloud be confused many people. He told us that even they are from the same variety, once transformed into mezcal they are totally different from each other, as the Coyote has more herbal notes and hence has become in one of the iconic mezcal we carry. Nos platicó que aunque provienen de la misma familia, una vez convertidos en mezcal son diferentes, ya que el Coyote presenta notas más herbales y de ahí que se haya convertido en otro de los emblemáticos mezcales de la marca. Like the Mexicano, the Coyote is a lonely mezcal not always available, but if you can taste it, it’ll become a favorite without a doubt.

Taking as a basis our mezcal range,it was the perfect timing to raise the range and offer another high quality product from one of the oldest and large agaves that the eld can offer us, we are talking about the Americana var. Oaxacensis, and agave of large wingspan that can take between 12 and 25 to grow, depending on the region where it’s located. This mezcal is an icon of Siete Misterios, and over time has become a favorite between the enthusiasts, achieved thanks of the great combination offered by the agave avors and clay pot distillation that give unique characteristics and it helps to have a sensational balance in nose and palate. This emblematic agave, has helped us to put the traditional clay pot distillation in demanding markets such as USA and Europe.

Sola de Vega has always been known as the birthplace of “La Chilena” which is a type of regional music and its mezcal Tobalá, for which many travel from the capital and other towns to get some of this distillate. For many Tobalá is the jewel in the crown as far as mezcal is concerned, and not only for its magnicent physical beauty resembling the bud of a rose or the complicated method of reproduction only by seed since it doesn’t have “hijuelos” or nally the complicated harvest that Maestros Mezcaleros go through since it grows up in remote locations. The experience offered to all those who have been fortunate enough to taste it immediately change their perception and becomes in a great mezcal in every sense of the concept. This mezcal complete the range where we offer to different palates and option to fell in love with this magnicent spirit.
