Naturally, the Zapotec brothers grew to love the local culture and traditions, taking pride in the land as well as recognizing the importance of the agave and the famous Mexican spirit. They were forced to emigrate due to the economic conditions in their homeland. While away, they never forgot their origins, constantly dreaming of a time when they would return home. They would finally return as the Palenque Mal de Amor was constructed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBased in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mal de Amor is a family-owned distillery where the Hernandezes craft artisanal mezcal. On the same grounds, not more than a stone's throw from the town, you'll find their authentic Oaxacan restaurant, aging facilities, as well as the bottling and labeling part of the Palenque. There, they craft authentic terroir mezcals from various types of agaves that come from different lands in Oaxaca.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGeared towards sustainability, Maestro Mezcalero Armando Hernández watches over the production. Himself a 3rd generation mezcalero, Hernández relies on traditional methods, handed down by his father and his grandfather before that. This means that the agave is slowly roasted underground for 4 to 5 days. Then, it is crushed by a horse-drawn tahona mill and left to naturally ferment for 5 to 10 days. Afterwards, they are double-distilled using 250-liter copper-pot stills and rested before finally being bottled.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMal de Amor Jabali is distilled from agave convallis that are harvested from mountainous terrain, 4 hours from the family Palenque. The agave is harvested once fully mature, at around 15 years of age. Rested in glass for 3 months, the juicy and fruity expression is bottled at 96 proof.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGet your bottle of this artisanal mezcal today!                                        \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Mezcal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor. \u003cbr\u003eWhat \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/whiskey\/scotch\/\"\u003escotch\u003c\/a\u003e is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/tequila\/\"\u003etequila\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca.
