Real De Jalpa, S.C. De R.L. De C.v.

Real De Jalpa was founded in 2000 by a collective of passionate distillers who sought to reclaim and innovate the art of mezcal production in Mexico. The founders were motivated by a resurgence of interest in craft spirits, particularly mezcal, which was often overshadowed by tequila. They began by planting their own agave plants and experimenting with different production techniques in order to cultivate a distinctive profile that reflects the unique terroir of Zacatecas. Over the years, the distillery has achieved significant milestones, including the introduction of various mezcal expressions, such as their Joven, Reposado, and Añejo varieties. These stages of craftsmanship allowed them to explore the depths of flavor and aroma that agave can provide. The distillery has consistently focused on sustainable practices, ensuring that all production occurs in a way that honors the environment and traditional methods. Real De Jalpa has also participated in industry competitions, earning awards that underscore their dedication to quality and excellence in distillation.
