Nuestra Soledad

Mezcal Nuestra Soledad is a celebration of the unique environments and distillation traditions of six different, prominent distilling communities within the Valles Centrales region of Oaxaca, Mexico. Hand-selected by the iconic Cortés family of El Jolgorio fame, each palenque (distillery) crafts a distinctive mezcal from 100% Espadín agave using centuries-old indigenous Zapotec methods, making the lineup an ideal lens through which to explore the essential impact of terroir on Oaxacan mezcal. The agave is sustainably cultivated, wood-fire roasted in earthen pits, wild fermented in open-air vats and distilled in copper pot stills. Mezcal Nuestra Soledad showcases the villages of Santiago Matatlán (the “heart” of mezcal production in Oaxaca), La Compañía Ejutla, San Luis del Rio, San Baltazar Guelavila, Santa María Zoquitlán, and Lachiguí Miahuatlán.
