Mezcal Metiche is produced by mezcalero Juan Manuel Prez Jurez in Charcas, a town and municipality in the state of San Luis Potos 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 Potos. 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 productions methods that havent changed since 1870, the agaves are cooked in stone ovens. The resulting spirit is soft, not smoked.
