出展者プロフィール / Exhibitor Outline：Soul, body, and heart at Destilería Tierra de Jaguar are what have forged the mezcal tradition that has endured over the years, passed down from generation to generation since 1897 in the municipality of Tlacolula de Matamoros, Oaxaca.

Careful attention to every detail of mezcal production, combined with a strong connection to the environment and sustainability, defines us as an industry whose byproducts (vinazas) can affect groundwater and agricultural fields. As a socially responsible company, Destilería Tierra de Jaguar has installed state-of-the-art biodigesters, helping to treat waste and reduce the ecological impact on our community.

Planted and harvested by hand, our agave grows for several years in various soils of the Tlacolula Valley, without the use of insecticides, this supports the land and the species that coexist with the agaves.

Careful selection of mature plants from different agave varieties, with high sugar content and nutrients acquired over years of growth and care.

Conical oven with chamber and external feeding, fueled by oak and mesquite firewood, volcanic stone, and earth, which prevents excessive smoke during the cooking process.

Traditional artisanal milling in a pink quarry stone mill (Tahona), which adds minerals to the cooked agave during this process.

Wild fermentation (free of sulfates or commercial yeasts), using spring water in vats made of sabino and pine wood, allowing native yeasts from the region to assist in the natural fermentation process, under the careful supervision of Master Mezcalero Roberto.

Double and triple distillation in copper stills over low heat, fueled by firewood, resulting in clean, well-defined flavor notes unique to each agave.

Finally, our small-batch unaged spirit is bottled; however, our attention to detail does not stop there. Everything must be perfect, including the sustainable harvesting of fine Portuguese cork.
