Description

Alipus Santa Ana Mezcal is a testament to the rich tradition of artisanal mezcal production in Oaxaca, Mexico. This exceptional spirit is brought to you by Alipus, a brand with a deep commitment to supporting small, family-run distilleries in the region. Founded by Los Danzantes, Alipus was created with the aim of providing a sustainable market for these distilleries, helping them preserve their craft and pass it down through generations.

The heart of Alipus Santa Ana Mezcal lies in the dedication and expertise of distillers like Hector Vasquez and Karina Abad Rojas, who have collaborated closely with selected small producers. They’ve not only improved distillation methods but have also navigated the intricate paperwork required for certifying their mezcals for export. This support has enabled these distilleries to flourish, allowing them to expand their operations, add more stills, and even bring their skilled children back from the USA to work as distillers at home.

Alipus has now risen to become Mexico’s premier artisanal mezcal, a testament to its quality and the success of the mission to sustain these family businesses. Los Danzantes and Craft Distillers have played a pivotal role in this journey by keeping markups lower than usual, ensuring that the distillers are fairly compensated and that aficionados around the world can continue to enjoy Alipus mezcal for years to come.
