Santiago Matatlán, San Dionisio, and Yautepec produce Artesanal Mezcal with their copper pot palenques. They produce Doba Yej, Ensambles, and Pechuga.
The Doba-Yej is the core expression of Los Siete Misterios. In sun-soaked Oaxaca, the highest quality Maguey Espadín are roasted for distillation in a copper pot still. The resulting Doba-Yei, meaning Espadín in the ancient Zapotec language, is bright and floral with beautifully balanced citrus notes-perfect for enjoying neat or in cocktails.
Artesanal Mezcal is the most common category of mezcal produced with 87% of the total mezcal production.
