Description

Don Mateo de la Sierra Manso de Sahuayo is produced using Agave Americana var. Manso de Sahuayo (formerly known as Cenizo). This agave is endemic to the municipality of Sahuayo, Michoacan. Mezcalero Emilio Vieyra works with local farmers there to source the best agaves possible. The harvested agaves are roasted in a pit oven, fermented in wooden tanks. The still is a pine and oyamel (fir) Filipino style alembique still. Heads, tails, and natural spring water are used for alcohol adjustments.
