Cementario Mezcalero is part of Mezcales de Leyendas special limited edition series. This series is a collection of mezcales aged in glass that honors an old tradition often related to small comunities, in which some of the best ’mezcales’ are aged in glass containers, generally underground, to be later unearthed for family celebrations such as birthdays, weddings, and baptisms.
The ‘desentierros mezcaleros‘ or mezcal unearthing, traditionally take place in Tzitzio, Michoacán, during the month of November, for the celebration of ‘Día de Muertos’, Day of the Dead. There are only 435 bottles.
