Experience the Ejutla region with Mal Bien Espadin.

Traveling through the twists and turns of Mexico’s untamed landscapes, one can encounter almost anything — it’s a journey filled with adventure, unexpected challenges, and unexpected delights. And, of course, there's the Mezcal. And some of the kindest, funniest, and most brilliant folks you'll ever meet. Along the way, the Mal Bien team has formed relationships with small-scale traditional producers, bringing their amazing Mezcal to the world under their name. They've got the hook up on the best Agave Spirits around, each one telling its own unique story of the land where the plants were grown, the rich heritage of the villages it was distilled in, and the soul of the Mezcaleros who crafted them. With expressions from the states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Michoacán, they are not only set on selling Spirits but also on sharing their love and knowledge of this historic drink.

Mal Bien Espadin is a Mezcal crafted by Félix Ramírez Mendez, the farmer-turned-Mezcalero from the picturesque village of Yogana. Located at the southern end of Oaxaca's Ejutla district, Félix's agave plants thrive in a lush landscape filled with seasonal crops. Félix roasts his piñas to perfection in earthen pits and gives them a much-needed five-day vacation before milling them with the traditional tahona method. The Spirit is then fermented with crisp well water and distilled in a copper alembic still. One pass through the still is all it takes for this Mezcal to prove its authenticity, reflecting the essence of Ejutla's distillation traditions.

While Mezcal is produced all across Mexico, most of the Mezcal we see is produced in the state of Oaxaca. Interestingly, over 70% of Mezcal is made from the Espadín agave—even though more than 20 types of agave are used to make Mezcal.

Espadín. That word means “sword” in Spanish because the leaves look like a mass of swords projecting out of the plant. Espadín Mezcals are most common because it has been the easiest agave to cultivate.

All Tequila is Mezcal, but not all Mezcal is Tequila.
