EL PROCESO

100% Espadin Agave

We hand-select the agaves

SMOKED

Once harvested the piñas are split and laid to cook for 4–6 days in six-ton earthen pits.

CRUSHED

Piñas are cooled for 24 hours before the crushing process begins. The agave is crushed, one ton at a time by a horse-drawn tahona wheel.

FERMENTED

Our Mezcal ferments from anywhere between 2–8 days before being distilled in covered copper pot stills.

¡SALUD!

Lopez Real is bottled on site at our family's palenque, using materials sourced from Mexico. The entire process from harvest to bottle takes roughly three to four weeks.

NUESTRO MEZCAL

Do you know that intoxicating scent the Earth emits after it rains? The scent is called petrichor and it perfectly describes the flavor of our Tobala. Powerful, fruit-forward, evocative and acidic.
