Zimatlán de Álvarez sits at an elevation of around 4,900 feet above sea level, contributing to cooler temperatures and prime growing conditions. The soil composition is primarily limestone and volcanic soils, which impart element-rich characteristics to the agave, influencing the flavor profile of the agave spirit. Hafid Rodriguez and his family distill exceptional ancestral agave spirits, a testament to generations of dedication and tradition. Each small batch is meticulously hand-mashed with wooden mallets and distilled in clay pots.
