Del Suelo Mezcal
Del Suelo, meaning ‘of the earth' is an artesanal mezcal, and like the name, it carries with it a story of the soil and the agave from which it is made. In our expressions we celebrate the state of Oaxaca and a range of farmed and wild agave.
IT COULD BE FROM NOWHERE ELSE
Del Suelo - From the Earth
Distilled miles from anywhere, rural and unspoilt and only accessible by a dirt road is the village of San Luis del Río. The palenque (distillery) is nestled in a sun-kissed valley in the remote mountains of Oaxaca. The unique micro climate and mineral-rich soil impart distinct flavours to the wild and cultivated agave that grow there. Combined with local expertise, it yields mezcal of unparalleled quality and a rich, complex character.
From the Earth into the Fire
Mezcal is perhaps the hardest of all spirits to make. The cultivated and wild agave grow on steep hillsides, often distant and remote. Each agave reaches maturity in its own time and it is up to our Mezcalero to recognise the signs that it is ready to be harvested. Once harvested, it’s roasted in earth ovens, crushed by the stone Molino wheel, wild fermented in open air vats and distilled to proof.
Award winning
Celebrated by respected spirits awards, Del Suelo has earned recognition for its craftsmanship, depth and distinctive mezcal character. From gold medals to high-scoring international accolades, each award reflects a spirit rooted in tradition, authenticity and quality.
In Partnership with the people
Del Suelo operates on the principles of social and economic justice. From the farmers tending the agave fields to the artisans crafting the spirit, we ensure every hand involved is treated with respect. This commitment is embodied through our formal partnership with Alí Rogelio Ramírez, palenque owner, storyteller and a bridge between the old and the new traditions of Mezcal production. Together, we share a philosophy rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and a strong connection to the land and its people.
