The Heart of Oaxaca in Every Bottle
Mezcal 1250 is more than a drink—it’s a celebration of Oaxaca’s heritage and the art of mezcal-making. Our name pays homage to the year 1250, a time when Zapotec culture flourished in Tlacolula de Matamoros, the birthplace of our mezcal. With every bottle, we bring the spirit of Oaxaca to life, blending tradition, passion, and authenticity.
Celebrating Culture, Supporting Communities
At Mezcal 1250, we believe in preserving Oaxaca’s heritage while empowering local communities. By collaborating with local campesinos and mezcaleros, we ensure that every bottle supports sustainable practices and provides meaningful work for our people. We take pride in sharing not just a mezcal, but a story that honors the land and its people.
Rooted in the Rich Lands of Oaxaca
Our mezcal is crafted in Tlacolula de Matamoros, a place known for its fertile lands and abundant maguey. These wild agave plants grow in challenging terrains, nurtured by nature and harvested by the skilled hands of local campesinos.
Crafted with Care, Honoring Tradition
We preserve ancestral techniques in every step of the process. From roasting agave hearts in underground pits to crushing them with a tahona stone wheel, fermenting naturally in wooden vats, and distilling in copper stills, Mezcal 1250 is a true artisanal product. Every detail, from the wild agave selection to the elegant bottle design, reflects our commitment to quality and tradition.
