Casamigos Mezcal is made using the artisanal method. Once harvested, the piñas are split and laid to cook for 4-6 days in earthen pits lined with volcanic or river rock. Piñas are cooled for 24 hours before the crushing process begins. The agave is crushed utilizing a Tahona wheel. Depending on the season, Casamigos Mezcal ferments for 6-8 days before being distilled in covered copper pot stills. Casamigos is twice-distilled.
