Distillation and production

Production method

Artisanal production following typical Oaxaca mezcal practices: baking agaves in underground ovens, traditional milling (including tahona in some batches), fermentation in wooden vats and distillation in stills (copper or traditional). Some expressions report double distillation; the Pechuga requires a final distillation with fruit, spices and meat (the ritual pechuga practice).

Distillation

Artisanal distillation in copper or traditional stills; batches follow local practices with double distillation for most expressions and, for the Pechuga, a final distillation with added elements (fruit/spices/meat).

Ageing

Some references (e.g. Reposado) are aged in wooden barrels; the Reposado is reported to be aged for about 6 months in American oak in some technical sheets.

Producer history Yuu Baal

According to available sources, Grupo Yuu Baal (Grupo Yuu Baal, S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexican organization presented as a social enterprise dedicated to promoting the traditions of Oaxacan mezcal producers. Products are bottled under the Yuu Baal label and come from batches produced by various local mezcaleros in communities across Oaxaca.

The brand's communication highlights an artisanal approach and respect for traditional practices: care of the maguey, manual processing and attention to the environment. The project is described as aimed at enhancing the local knowledge of mezcal producers in the Oaxaca region.

Territory

Production linked to communities in Oaxaca: San Juan del Río, San Luis del Río, Tlacolula and Miahuatlán; the company is registered/headquartered in the state of Oaxaca (Oaxaca de Juárez).
