About Corte Vetusto and Its Origin
Corte Vetusto, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of mezcal, takes great pride in preserving the traditional methods of mezcal production. Located in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico, Corte Vetusto sources its agave from the rugged landscapes of the region, where the plants thrive under the watchful care of local farmers. The distillery’s commitment to sustainability and authenticity is evident in every batch of Corte Vetusto mezcal. By utilizing age-old techniques, such as cooking the agave in conical earthen ovens and milling it with a volcanic stone Tahona, Corte Vetusto ensures that each bottle captures the true spirit of Oaxaca.
