Fuego y Humo Mezcal

Fuego Y Humo Mezcal works with small batch family producers. The mission is two-fold:

• Empower Mexican producers to continue making exceptional agave spirits and provide the platform needed to reach a broader audience in the US.
• Promote education around the agave, artisanal production process and cultural traditions that surround it – all while sharing and sipping this delicious spirit.

The journey begins with José Manuel Mendez from San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. José is a 3rd generation mezcalero who still proudly produces mezcal the way his father (and before that his grandfather) taught him.

The name Fuego Y Humo (“Fire and Smoke”) represents two elements that transform the agave into this beautiful and time-honored spirit from Mexico. The brand is a celebration of the agave journey from earth to copita, highlighting both the maker and their unique process along the way, thus preserving traditions around the culture and beauty of traditional mezcal.
