Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Artisanal production using local traditional techniques: cooking in traditional ovens (conical ovens / earth ovens), milling with tahona or machinery depending on the maestro, fermentation in wooden vats or traditional tanks and distillation in craft stills (mainly copper; in some cases terracotta ollas/containers are also recorded). Many batches result from direct collaboration with local mezcaleros.

Distillation

Artisanal distillation in stills (copper and, for some batches/editions, terracotta vessels); typically double distillation for the expressions described in catalogs and product sheets.

Ageing

Core line: Joven / unaged. There are limited editions and reserves that may undergo specific treatments/finishes.

Producer history De Leyenda

Born as a project linked to the Mexican mezcalería scene (the brand is reported to have originated from the experience of La Botica, a mezcalería in Mexico City), the brand developed a core collection of single-state expressions and a series of limited editions that highlight small producers and rare agaves. The company is structured as a label that selects local artisanal productions across several Mexican states.

Production philosophy

Promote mezcal as a tool for social development: support for small producers, fair trade practices, protection of natural resources and environmental projects. Official communications emphasize commitment to sustainability and initiatives aimed at conserving agaves and local communities.

Territory

Mexico — core expressions from Durango, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla and San Luis Potosí (single-state collection).
