help Mal Bien Mezcal FAQ
What types of agave are typically used in Mal Bien Mezcal?
Mal Bien works with independent distillers to bottle single-village mezcals made from wild agave varietals like Tobalá, Tepeztate, and Madrecuixe. The specific agave types vary from batch to batch, intentionally highlighting the unique terroir of different regions in Oaxaca.
Who produces and makes Mal Bien Mezcal?
The brand was founded by Temo García and Marco Ochoa, who collaborate directly with small-scale palenqueros (mezcaleros) in Mexico. They focus on preserving traditional, small-batch production methods rather than industrializing the spirit.
How is Mal Bien Mezcal traditionally produced?
The agaves used in Mal Bien are typically roasted in underground pit ovens over hot stones, which gives the mezcal its signature smoky flavor profile. They are then crushed using a traditional tahona wheel, naturally fermented in open vats, and double distilled in copper stills.
