BENDITALEGRIA is a generous mezcal, however also grateful: regarding its origins, its people and its roots. Mezcal’s happiness unites and reunites – reunites people, unites past and present and reunites its people with the land. For these reasons, ours is a fair mezcal, organic and kind: a thorough mezcal, how it should be and how, we think, should remain – sincere, pure.

SPIRIT

Maturation
Ripe agaves, produce a higher taste concentration, which leads to a superior mezcal. For this reason, in “Benditalegria” we let our agaves mature for longer time, even by 12 years, just like a good mezcal requires.

Cooking
To obtain a high quality mezcal the “hearts” of our agaves are cooked carefully before fermentation. The combustile used for cooking is crucial to define the scent of a mezcal. In Benditalegría, our subterranean ovens, covered in stones, are heated with carbon of oak wood. This gives it the smoked touch and our distintive mezcal scent.

PROCESS

Grinding
The cooked heart, “mexcalli”, is grinded to extract its juices. In “Benditalegría” we strictly follow tradition to make a truly artisanal mezcal. Our master ‘mezcalero’ uses stone mills and animal strength to give it life. The result: a time machine, a truly exceptional liquid.

Destilation
At the end, the fermented pulp is heated to obtain alcohol through a process of destilation. Depending on the entire process of elaboration, the alcohol produced can range between 40 and 60 degrees. In “Benditalegría”, we get to 48 degress with our Ensamble mezcal – with a sturdy taste, smoked scent, high range and exceptional quality… wonderful.

Fermentation
Agaves’ juices obtained from the grinding are poured in wooden tubs. Within these, water is added from a well onto the crushed agave and this allows the microorganisms to accomplish the fermentation. Once again, letting this process have the adequate cares and time is fundamental to obtain a sublime mezcal, like ours.

Benditalegria places the consumption of mezcal at the center of a round, complex and pleasant esthetic experience that delights the taste, rejoices the heart and sings to the most diverse consumers. This is the power of a mezcal framed; And we believe, the true blessing of mezcal. That is why we would feel exited about taking our mezcal to every country in the world.
