Los Siete Misterios began not as a business venture, but as a calling—to protect something sacred. Founded in 2010 by brothers Eduardo and Julio Mestre, the brand was born out of a journey through rural Mexico, where they discovered mezcal not as a trend, but as a living expression of culture, ritual, and identity. Their mission became clear: to preserve and celebrate the ancestral methods of mezcal-making before they were lost to modernisation.

Working with small, family-run palenques across Oaxaca, Los Siete Misterios is built on deep respect for tradition and community. Each expression is handcrafted using time-honoured methods: wild and cultivated agaves are slow-roasted in earthen ovens, crushed by tahona or hand, and fermented in open-air wooden vats before being distilled in clay or copper—depending on regional practice and varietal.

The result is a portfolio of mezcals that are profoundly expressive and terroir-driven. Each bottling highlights a single agave varietal—Espadín, Tobalá, Coyote, Doba-Yej, among others—allowing the plant’s natural character to shine through with purity and depth. Smoke is never the focus; it is an accent to more delicate layers of fruit, earth, florals, and minerality. Every sip is an invitation to engage with complexity, to pause and explore.

While deeply rooted in heritage, Los Siete Misterios balances tradition with a contemporary lens. The brand’s striking visual identity—sleek black bottles etched with folkloric iconography—speaks to both mysticism and minimalism. Labels detail the name of the maestro mezcalero, village of origin, agave species, and production method, reinforcing transparency and traceability at every level.

Sustainability and social responsibility are embedded into the brand’s DNA. The Mestres work directly with producers, ensuring fair pay and autonomy, while investing in reforestation and agave propagation to secure the long-term health of the land and the craft. No additives, no industrial shortcuts—just honest mezcal, made with reverence.

Los Siete Misterios is more than a mezcal brand—it is a cultural project, a preservation effort, and a love letter to Oaxaca. For those who seek authenticity with soul, it offers a portfolio that goes beyond taste to embody story, tradition, and time.

To drink Los Siete Misterios is to engage with mezcal as it was meant to be: intimate, elemental, and beautifully alive.
