The Mezcaleros

Born from the shade of Oaxacan Oaks.

Guarapeta Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal distilled with lemongrass, offering a bright, aromatic character while staying rooted in traditional Oaxacan production. Crafted in San Martín Tilcajete by Master Mezcalero Jorge Cruz, it is double distilled in copper for a clean and expressive finish.
