Our Heritage

A Journey Through Tradition

Born from Ancient Wisdom

Zetwal Mezcal represents centuries of artisanal tradition passed down through generations of master mezcaleros in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. Our name, inspired by the compass rose that guided ancient explorers, symbolizes our commitment to navigating the path of authentic mezcal production.

The Spirit of Oaxaca

Each bottle of Zetwal captures the essence of the Oaxacan highlands, where the agave espadín plants mature for 7-10 years under the Mexican sun. Our artisanal process honors the land, the agave, and the skilled hands that transform this noble plant into liquid poetry.

Guided by Tradition

Like the compass in our logo, Zetwal serves as your guide to authentic mezcal experience. We balance time-honored traditions with modern refinement, creating a spirit that speaks to both connoisseurs and those discovering mezcal for the first time.
