Creyente Mezcal
ABOUT:
Mezcal Creyente (which translates to "Believer") invites drinkers to "Jump into the Unknown" through a deeply alchemical approach to artisanal mezcal. Born from sacred terrain, Creyente is uniquely crafted by blending 100% agave sourced from two distinct regions of Oaxaca: the rich, fertile soils of the Valles Centrales and the wild, mountainous terrain of the Sierra Sur. This fusion process yields a highly complex paradox of flavors—a remarkable alchemy that perfectly balances the bright, sweet characteristics of the valley with the robust, earthy elements of the mountains. Their award-winning, artisanal portfolio relies on traditional methods, embracing the mystical folklore of Mexico (symbolized by the chimera creatures on their labeling) while pushing the boundaries of the category.
