Discovering Tierra de Jaguar: The Soul of Oaxacan Mezcal
This blog highlights the cultural values, artisanal quality, and mysticism of mezcal, inspired by the video “Tierra de Jaguar.”
Origin and Place
Tierra de Jaguar is an artisanal mezcal originating in Oaxaca, Mexico. Its name pays homage to the jaguar, a symbol of strength, mystery, and connection to the earth, reflecting the relationship between mezcal and its ancestors.
Raw Materials and Production
It is made with wild or semi-wild agave, harvested by hand after years of maturation.
The process includes a stone oven, natural fermentation in wooden vats, and distillation in a copper or clay still, traditional methods that enrich its flavors.
