Montelobos Mezcal

Montelobos was founded with a commitment to preserving the traditional craftsmanship of mezcal while promoting sustainable agave cultivation and responsible production practices. Produced in Oaxaca, Mexico—the historic heartland of mezcal—Montelobos has earned international acclaim for its dedication to authenticity and terroir-driven character.

Montelobos Espadín is crafted exclusively from organically grown Espadín agave, harvested at full maturity after several years of growth. The agave piñas are traditionally roasted in underground earthen pits lined with volcanic stone, a process that imparts the signature smoky character associated with mezcal.

Following roasting, the agave is crushed, naturally fermented with native yeasts, and distilled in small copper stills. These traditional methods preserve the spirit’s complexity and allow the unique characteristics of the agave and region to shine through.

The result is a mezcal that balances smoke with freshness, showcasing remarkable elegance while remaining true to its rustic roots.
