In the footsteps of the Jaguar
In the land of Oaxaca, where the roots of tradition are intertwined with a broad vision of the world, the spirit of Mezcal Mitre emerges, a symbol of the fusion between artisanal and contemporary lifestyle.
Mezcal Mitre embodies the fusion of traditional and artisanal Mexico with the contemporary and elegant. Rooted in the family tradition of our master mezcalero, Don Tacho, and his sons, Joel and Laurentino, Mitre originates in Santiago Matatlán, an Oaxacan municipality renowned as the World Capital of Mezcal.
Our bottle pays homage to the jaguar, the most emblematic feline of various pre-Hispanic cultures, symbolizing strength, status, and valor. Additionally, it adds an artistic touch to each of our mezcals, aiming to maintain excellence not only in the contents but also to transform each product into a collectible piece.
In 2015, we founded Mezcal Mitre with the vision of embodying the essence of our country in every bottle. Since then, we have challenged boundaries, becoming a brand that makes every moment unique. Each drop reflects our commitment to quality, bringing the authentic flavor of Mexico everywhere we go.
Our Process
The mezcal-making process begins with the careful selection of ripe agaves, followed by cooking in a volcanic stone oven with mezquite wood for 3 days. Next, they are crushed in a tahona to extract the must. Fermentation takes place in pine wood tanks, followed by distillation in copper stills and clay pots. Finally, each bottle is hand-bottled and labeled, meticulously caring for every detail of our iconic bottles.
Claudio Román Pastor nació en la Ciudad de México en 1991. Mientras estudiaba Administración en el ITAM, un viaje a Oaxaca cambió todo — descubrió el mezcal no como una bebida, sino como un mundo entero de tradición, proceso y carácter.
En 2015 fundó Mitre con una idea clara: que el mejor mezcal de México pudiera vivirse en cualquier momento, no solo en ocasiones especiales. Se asoció con Don Tacho y sus hijos Joel y Laurentino en Santiago Matatlán, y construyó algo que va más allá de una marca — un puente entre el México artesanal y el México de hoy.
Hoy Mitre es la segunda marca independiente de mezcal artesanal más grande del país. La historia apenas empieza.
