History
About Us
“The devils are already approaching, their long beards made of horsehair and tail, hang and move to the beat of the music… Their deer horns and their long ears warn that they are not of this world, they are the deceased, the ancestors What do they return to in All Saints season? To frighten the dead or are the dead themselves coming out of the pantheon?
Our main image is the dance of 3 devils dancing around the maguey, where through their praise they capture the most pleasant sensations in its flavor.
Tentacion Ancestral is a mezcal that seeks to seduce the consumer to enjoy the forbidden, its strong flavor reflects the passion and mystery of the aphrodisiac elixir of the maguey. Ancestral temptation will transport you to a world where pleasure is imminent.

This name was given to it because of the thin and long leaves that resemble swords.
The largest volume of mezcal production in the country corresponds to the maguey espadín, due to its high reproductive properties, sugars, weight and volume. The reproduction process of agaves occurs in two ways: by inflorescence and by shoots that are usually genetically homogeneous.
