Mezcal Factory

The harvested maguey plants (an agave plant native to Mexico). Oaxaca is the main place in Mexico that produces Mezcal.


The place where the plants are getting crushed (a donkey would be pulling the wheel).


The mashed plants are left to sit in water to ferment.


Distilling the Mezcal.


The product gets collected, tasting like true Mexican moonshine.


The Mezcal ages in wooden barrels.


The worm gets added or not? There are many different flavors (anise, passion fruit, marijuana). And we had a lot of fun afterwards with the goodies we bought there.
