Manufacturing and aging

Espadín chapón, the one that already has a quiote is the most used in the production of Tier 42 Miahuatlan. Its producers are devoted to make mezcal in the most traditional way. Handpicked agaves are cooked a whole week in a conical stone lined pit. After crushed it is fermented for between 7 and 10 days in open air sabino wood containers. The juice is then distilled twice in copper pot stills. No water is added to get the mezcal to the desired ABV. They use puntas and colas to do so.
