Pescador de Sueños

Pescador de Sueños was created as a project connected to Destilería Santa Sabia: the initiative focuses on researching and selecting artisanal lots produced by independent mezcaleros in areas such as Sola de Vega and San Juan del Río (Oaxaca). Santa Sabia states the project was launched to gather rare mezcals and tell local stories and traditions.

The project's stated philosophy is to recover the mysticism and tradition surrounding the agave world, promoting local productions, endemic varieties and artisanal methods. Releases are presented as small-batch collections, with attention to the territorial identity of each maguey.

Mexico, state of Oaxaca (e.g. Sola de Vega, San Juan del Río, Miahuatlán and other locations in Oaxaca's agave region).

Lots are produced using traditional techniques requested of the participating mezcaleros: stone-oven or conical pit cooking, milling (including tahona), fermentation in local wooden tinas (sabino) and distillation in copper or clay stills depending on the palenque. Some lots are double distilled; after distillation certain lines are rested in glass to preserve aromatic profile.

Traditional artisanal distillation: stone-oven cooking with burial, milling including tahona, fermentation in local wooden tinas (sabino) and distillation in copper or clay alembics depending on the local producer; several lots indicate double distillation.

For some lines (e.g. The Claw Collection) lots are matured in glass containers for at least one year before bottling; other expressions may be joven (young) or have short aging.
