About Mezcal Amarás

Mezcal Amarás partners with a thoughtfully curated group of Maestro Mezcaleros in Oaxaca, Mexico to create a diverse collection of mezcal from 18 different types of agave. As the world’s first carbon-neutral mezcal company, Mezcal Amarás honors the past through each Maestro Mezcalero’s ancestral methods, yet is mindful of the future with modern sustainable growth practices and 100% natural, chemical-free fermentation. The process begins with a five-day pit-roasting ritual layering piñas with wood and river rocks, resulting in mezcals with pure, rich flavor profiles that are an adventurous departure from traditional tequila.

See you there, San Diego!
