Mezcal Union Uno, 70 cl

Product Information

Because the stuff is old, adored, and drenched in folklore, mezcal touts some great stories. One piece of mythology suggests that it was the result of a lightning bolt striking the sacred agave plant, releasing the elixir of the gods. Currently uncertified agave spirits labeled as "destilados de agave" or "agave spirits" can also be bottled in the United States. Within Mexico, mezcal is regulated under Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) regulations, originally NOM-070-SCFI-1994 (in 1994), by the industry body Consejo Mexicano Regulador de la Calidad del Mezcal A.C. (COMERCAM, the Mexican Regulatory Council for Mezcal Quality). This regulation became law in 2003, and certification began in 2005.

Growing the supply requires added means of production and an expanding distribution chain. Mezcal Unión currently works with twenty distilleries spanning eight villages. It is available in the U.S., and will likely become even more so in the years to come. Over the last two years, Mezcal Unión has become one of the leading Mezcal brands in bars and restaurants in Mexico 1. Diageo has worked in partnership with Mezcal Unión since 2016, supporting growth of the brand’s distribution network in Mexico, the US and other countries.

Durling added: “Although mezcal is booming, there is a concern it will fall victim to industrial processes to keep up with demand, which would go against the core ethos of the craftsmanship of mezcal. The production of mezcal moved from the coastal river basins of the Río Grande de Santiago to the inland ravines by the early 1700s to evade the prohibition on spirits production, as well as to take advantage of the larger numbers of wild agave plants in the interiors. The plants used expanded to highland cultivars of Agave angustifolia, as well as Agave rhodacantha in Jalisco, and Agave hookeri in Michoacán. [10] a b c d "Oaxaca Mezcal". Go Oaxaca.
