Mezcal Arroqueno 750 ml
Mal Bien’s philosophy is centered on highlighting the unique terroir and traditional production methods of individual mezcaleros. The brand works directly with small, independent producers, giving each bottle a distinct character based on factors like:
- Agave: Using wild or cultivated Arroqueno agave.
- Cooking: Cooking the agave in an underground oven for 8–10 days, using different combinations of wood.
- Milling: Crushing the cooked agave with a traditional ox-drawn stone wheel (tahona).
- Distillation: Using traditional copper stills.
- Mezcalero: Reflecting the specific skills and techniques of the mezcal-making family.
