Our master distiller, Don Jose Diaz, is a fifth-generation mezcal maker from Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, who has spent his life perfecting this craft.
Don Jose Diaz, a master mezcal maker from a family of mezcaleros in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, inherited his love for mezcal from his ancestors. His deep respect for the agave plant and its transformation into mezcal is rooted in years of meticulous practice.
He's honed every stage of production over the years - from preparing the soil and planting the seeds, to nurturing the plants and harvesting top-quality agave, to managing the roasting process that gives our STANZA mezcal its unique herbaceous, floral flavor.
STANZA embodies Don Jose's commitment and passion. Every sip echoes a centuries-old family tradition and the rich cultural heritage of Oaxaca. So when you savor STANZA, you're not just drinking a spirit; you're participating in a profound cultural legacy. The uncompromising quality and passion in each sip of STANZA offers a matchless mezcal experience.
