The weather conditions of Miahuatlán makes the Espadín harvested in its red soil different than any other in the region. From all the mezcal communities in Oaxaca, Miahuatlán is one of the closest to the coast and it is situtated in a valley 1,600m above the sea level. Ricardo Gonzalez´s ancestors were the heroes that persevered the mezcal tradition in spite of the prohibition in the area in the first half of the XXth century, carrying the precious liquid in donkeys in the middle of the night while they challenged the vigilant eye of an abusive authority. Today, the producers are proud to say that their sons will learn the craft just as they did from their parents.

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.
