The Soul of Oaxaca in Every Drop
From the valleys of San Dionisio Ocotepec, where volcanic soils and tradition shape the land, rises the spirit of El Gran Palenque. Our Espadín agave matures for 8–9 years, gathering the depth and character of Oaxaca.
Roasted four days in an underground stone pit oven, the agave transforms into a rich balance of sweetness and smoke. Fermented in wooden vats with native wild yeasts, each batch carries the natural imprint of the region.
Distilled in a traditional copper still by Maestro Mezcalero Alberto Morales, El Gran Palenque achieves a clean, honest expression of Espadín—smooth, balanced, and elegantly smoky.

FAQ
El Gran Palenque is a true artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca, crafted with 100% Espadín agave that is allowed to mature for 8–9 years before harvest. The agave hearts are slow-roasted for 4 days in an underground stone pit oven, crushed with a roller mill, fermented in wooden vats for 5 days, and distilled in copper stills by Maestro Mezcalero Alberto Morales in San Dionisio Ocotepec.
The result is a perfect balance between agave flavor and smokiness—a smooth, approachable mezcal designed for sipping neat or elevating mezcal cocktails. Our mezcal is also 100% additive-free, with no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners, which sets it apart from many commercial spirits.
El Gran Palenque is made in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, a village located within the official Mezcal Denomination of Origin. This region is known for its rich mezcal heritage, volcanic soils, and ideal climate for growing Espadín agave.
Produced in a traditional family palenque, our mezcal reflects the terroir of Oaxaca—from the earth where the agave grows to the natural yeasts in the air that drive fermentation. Every bottle is a genuine expression of Oaxacan artisanal mezcal.
El Gran Palenque is crafted for balance and elegance rather than aggressive smoke.
Aroma: Roasted agave, gentle smoke, light earthiness, and subtle hints of citrus and minerality.
Palate: Perfectly balanced smoked agave with a smooth, round texture, notes of baked agave, herbal tones, and a touch of natural sweetness.
Finish: Clean, long, and elegantly smoky, with a soft, lingering agave warmth that invites another sip.
These tasting notes make it ideal as a sipping mezcal and a premium base for mezcalitas, smoky margaritas, and craft cocktails.
El Gran Palenque is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), aligning with premium sipping mezcal standards. This alcohol percentage offers a smooth, approachable profile while still delivering the full character of roasted Espadín agave and balanced smokiness. Always check the label on your bottle for the exact alcohol content, as regulations and special editions may vary slightly by batch or market.
Yes. El Gran Palenque is a 100% additive-free mezcal. That means:
