Metiche Mezcal 49 is produced by mezcalero Juan Manuel Prez Jurez in Charcas, a town and municipality in the state of San Luis Potosi in central Mexico. Charcas is at an elevation of 6,627 feet. The agave Salmiana used in this mezcal grows for about 13 years on the high plateaus of San Luis Potosi. The soil, weather and excess rain, as well as the intensity of the sun in this region give the agave Salmiana and this mezcal unique and memorable flavors. Using Production methods that haven’t changed since 1870, the agaves are cooked in stone ovens. The resulting spirit is soft, not smoked. At 98 proof, Mezcal Metiche 49 is a higher-proof version of Mezcal Metiche.
