"A spirit born from the collective wisdom of Oaxacan communities. Pure, wild, and honest expressions that protect the natural environment and pay tribute to ancestral customs."
The Liquid Heritage of Unión Zapata
The prestigious brand Mezcal Ticony emerges from the profound knowledge and empirical assimilation of Oaxaca's distilling tradition, driven by a firm desire to promote authentic Mexican culture to the world's most discerning palates. Produced under rigorous traditional standards in the Unión Zapata region, an area intrinsically linked to the archaeological and historical richness of Mitla, Oaxaca, this spirit strictly adheres to the innovative Responsible Culture (CURE) model. The primary pillar of this ethical framework is to generate a direct social and socioeconomic impact on the communities of mezcal masters, ensuring fair wages and preserving ecological balance through certification from the Mezcal Regulatory Council (CRM).
Ticony's artisanal production begins with the meticulous selection of piñas that have reached their optimal biological maturity in semi-arid lands, accumulating an unparalleled concentration of complex sugars. The process is carried out respecting the stages dictated by ancestors: slow cooking in underground conical ovens lined with volcanic stone using sustainable local firewood, traditional grinding in a stone tahona, and spontaneous microbiological fermentation in pine wood vats, where wild ambient yeasts define its aromatic DNA. Finally, double distillation in a copper still purifies the body of the elixir without detracting from its primitive organic character.
Through a strategic alliance with La Cava Shop, we offer a multifaceted liquid range that faithfully portrays the mineral virtues of Oaxacan soil. Each 750 ml bottle, with a balanced alcohol content of 44° by volume, preserves the original fruity and herbal purity of the plant. This dedication to safeguarding traditional and limited-edition methods is closely aligned with other premium sections of our global cellar, such as the acclaimed collection of signature wines and exclusive selections of red wines from the New World. Enjoy the liquid magic of Oaxaca and receive it directly at your home through our reliable system of free shipping on orders of $1,499 pesos or more.
