Mezcal Iónico is produced utilizing strictly traditional methods and is therefore classified as an artisanal mezcal under the Consejo Regulador de Mezcal (CRM). Accordingly, our mezcal is made by roasting the agave piñas in traditional conical volcanic stone ovens, crushing the roasted agave using the traditional stone tahona, fermenting in open air wooden vats, and double distilling in copper stills.

We believe that understanding the artisanal production of mezcal as well as the deceptively simple series of chemical transformations that makes it possible are key to appreciating a good mezcal. Mezcal Iónico truly operates at the interface of tradition, craftsmanship, and science.
