\n

A mezcal where the mezcaleros call the shots.<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not often you find a spirit owned and operated by those who produce the elixir itself. Wahaka Mezcal co-owner and Master Distiller Alberto \u201cBeto\u201d Morales weaves Oaxaca\u2019s old-world traditions with the present-day to create a mezcal representing community, quality, and respect for the land.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWatching my father work in the fields and my mother cook for everyone who helped him, inspired me to do things differently\u2014not just to sell a product in bulk but to create our brand,\u201d says Beto.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2014me and my family\u2014are shareholders and have been fully integrated into the project\u2014a rarity in the mezcal world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morales carries his irrefutable respect for the land that birthed the Oaxacan people and multiple agave varieties in every step of Wahaka Mezcal.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn San Dionisio Ocotepec, the small village where our \u201cpalenque\u201d or distillery is located, is blessed with having a tremendous variety in agaves, farmed, wild, low land, and highland varietals,\u201d shares Beto.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe altitude, weather, soil, and subsoil all contribute different characteristics, nutrients, and minerals, which help distinguish and concentrate the sugars of the agaves at the time of distillation, leading us to achieve a mezcal of very high quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The resounding knowledge of a true mezcalero, a master mezcal distiller, leading the brand makes a difference. Yet, it\u2019s not only his impressive distilling expertise that churns out excellent small-batch mezcal\u2014it\u2019s his family and community\u2019s legacy, whose Zapotec culture is more ancient than mezcal itself.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWahaka Mezcal is a symbol of hard work, unity, and the state of Oaxaca with people who workday in and day out to put food on their tables,\u201d adds Beto.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we\u2019ve seen many producers industrialize their processes to meet demand, sacrificing aspects that make mezcal special. We remain committed to our traditions, artisanal methodologies, community, and the agaves that make our mezcal unique.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keeping out the commercial is felt with every sip of Wahaka\u2019s Mezcal, whether the Espad\u00edn or the rare Tobal\u00e1. The quality is a clear theme one that wouldn\u2019t be there without the mighty Oaxacan community that Wahaka mezcal supports through employment, safeguarding local habitats, and more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While always giving back, Morales is still moving forward \u2013 this time with a new release that will give us an intimate seat at his family table. Based on a recipe from Morales\u2019 mother, Zaponauta, the Spirit of New Horizons is the first Oaxacan mezcal coffee liquor on the market. It\u2019s a liquor meant to fuel the future, which as Morales reminds us cannot be done without respect for the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
