FAQs
What does Tlamati taste like?
Tlamati has a wide variety of flavors, and each expression of the agave is unique. Since it is distilled in small batches, you will find subtle differences in each lot. Its origin in the rocky limestone soil found in the Sierra de Tentzo will allow you to perceive some mineral notes, a flowery sweetness from the patience and respect showed to the plant while it reaches full maturity, and the delicate balance that only a master distiller achieves.

Is mezcal a type of agave distillate?
Yes! All mezcals are agave distillates. To produce the best mezcal, the master distillers follow similar, traditional processes (find out more in our section on Our Process). Agave used for mezcal is harvested, slow-roasted, and crushed to obtain a mash which is then fermented and DISTILLED. Through this process a distillate of agave is created, which can be sold as agave distillate, mezcal, raicilla, bacanora, sotol or other regional appellations, depending on applicable Mexican official commercial standards.
