Mezcal El Silencio

Mezcal El Silencio is a premium artisanal mezcal brand based in Santa Monica, California, with production rooted in Oaxaca, Mexico. The company specializes in crafting high-quality, handcrafted mezcal using traditional methods passed down through generations of mezcaleros. Their products are made from 100% Espadín agave, which is carefully picked, roasted, crushed, and double distilled to create a rich and complex flavor profile. The brand offers a range of artisanal mezcals, including the "RARE" variant made from 10-15 year old agaves. Mezcal El Silencio is known for its full-bodied flavors, featuring aromas of winter fruits, spices, and leather, along with a taste that includes sweet ripe agaves and well-balanced spices. The company also engages in cultural initiatives, such as Casa Silencio, a boutique hotel in Oaxaca that highlights the region's culture and the heritage of mezcal. Mezcal El Silencio has raised $14.86 million in funding, with investors including the Paycheck Protection Program and Constellation Brands Ventures.
