Producer Information: Los Siete Misterios
Los Siete Misterios is based in Oaxaca, Mexico, a region celebrated for its deep mezcal heritage and diverse agave species. The company was founded in 2010 by Eduardo and Julio Mestre with the mission to preserve traditional mezcal-making techniques while supporting local communities. Their production approach centers on small-batch distillation using ancestral methods such as clay pot stills and hand-milled agave, ensuring each bottle reflects the terroir and craftsmanship of Oaxacan mezcaleros.
Beyond their flagship mezcals, Los Siete Misterios offers a portfolio that highlights rare agave varietals like Tobalá, Doba-Yej, Coyote, and Espadín. They also experiment with limited releases featuring wild-harvested agaves and unique fermentation processes. While primarily focused on artisanal mezcal expressions, the brand has expanded into collaborations with other Mexican spirits producers to explore new flavor profiles within the broader world of agave-based beverages. This commitment to diversity allows Los Siete Misterios to appeal to both connoisseurs seeking single-varietal mezcals and adventurous drinkers interested in innovative spirit experiences rooted in Mexican tradition.

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with Espadín being the most common variety used. This unique spirit is characterized by its distinct smoky flavor, which results from roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before distillation. Mezcal can be enjoyed in various forms: unaged (Joven), aged for at least two months (Reposado), or aged for a minimum of one year (Añejo), each offering different complexities and flavor profiles.
The aroma of mezcal often features earthy notes complemented by citrus, herbs, and sometimes floral or fruity undertones, creating a rich sensory experience. Its texture ranges from smooth to full-bodied depending on the aging process. Mezcal is versatile in cocktails, commonly used in drinks like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, but it is also appreciated neat or on the rocks to fully savor its intricate flavors.
