Production of Mezcal Local

Leonel Hernández (Don Gil), a third generation maestro mezcalero, makes his mezcal in San Pablo Villa de Mitla.
The agaves are cooked underground for 3 days, ground with an Egyptian mill and then fermented in wooden vats for 10 days. During the distillation process, agave hearts and a selection of fruits  (apple, peach, banana and orange) are  added to the still. The agave heart acts as a natural purifier and the fruits add a wide range of distinctive flavors to the still. This mezcal is distilled twice in copper and then bottled.

Why does the bottle label say "Destilado con Corazón de Agave"? 

Due to the new regulations of the CRM (=Consejo Regulador del Mezcal/official Mexican authority for Mezcal) for labels, all producers of Pechuga Mezcals are now obliged  to write "Destilado con - Corazon de Agave”  on the label of a Mezcal de Pechuga, as in the case of Mezcal Local.
