Alipús Mezcal originated in 1999 as a ‘social impact project’ by Los Danzantes Distillery that sought to support traditional producers and their lands in a number of regions.
Alipús San Juan is produced traditionally. Craft in Oaxaca lands, the agave is hand-harvested and roasted in a stone-lined pit at ground level. Once cooked, the piñas are millstone pulled by a donkey and fermented in 2,500-liter pine vats. Then, the mezcal is double-distilled in copper stills and bottled.
