Artisan Mezcal

The state of Guerrero in 1994 was recognized as one of the most important mezcal producing states in the country and has a production of more than 2 million liters per year.

Those who have been fortunate enough to try it, we know very well that the Mezcal of Guerrero is produced with a very special maguey and difficult to find elsewhere.

This maguey is called "Agave Cupreata" or also called "maguey papalote," endemic species of the Balsas basin, therefore unique in the world and in Mexico.

Types of Mezcal in Guerrero

Mezcal Añejo - Stored for at least one year in barrels

Mezcal Reposado – Stored from two months to a year, in white oak barrels.

Mezcal Young - Mezcal without color, stored for less than two months

The Mezcal Route

Just as there is the Jalisco tequila route, in Guerrero they created the mezcal route, which consists of a pass through the various production houses of the Mezcal de Guerrero.

Guerrero has the production of 27 mezcaler brands registered with the Beverage Regulatory Council.

That is why the Maguey and Mezcal Producers Network of guerrero state created the Mezcal Route, an initiative to promote gastronomic tourism and strengthen the identity of the mezcalera guerrense region.

This route is designed for you to taste and know how mezcal is made.

But not only that, but also the opportunity to learn about local traditions and warrior gastronomy.
