Mezcal El Tinieblo is an ultra premium mezcal handcrafted in the state of Tamaulipas at Rancho El Tinieblo, our family’s 9,000 acre ranch and wildlife preserve where we grow and distill our agave. Our Joven is an ensemble of Espadin and Salmiana, two of the most treasured agave varieties in mezcal bottled in unique hand blown glass.

Each plant is carefully grown with zero pesticides, insecticides, and harmful chemicals. As it takes at least 20 years for one plant to mature, for every one harvested, we plant 25 more. Under the guidance of our maestro mezcalero, we identify and harvest the best and ripest maguey, the base that will ensure each batch will result in a refined mezcal. Cooking maguey is a social and committed 24 hour process that brings everyone from the ranch together around the open-pit fire to watch the roasting of the piñas over wood, rocks and earth. This whole process is done on our ranch so we can ensure our quality. Ritual dictates mezcal to be sipped leisurely in good company, served with orange slices and handmade Sal de Guzano (insect-based salts). Mezcal is for sacred consumption. Excess is a profanity.

“At Rancho El Tinieblo, we plant, grow, and harvest all of the maguey used in the creation of our small-batch mezcal. Each expression is carefully made using methods passed down through generations of our family and honoring the tradition of mezcal.”

Origins

An authentic Mexican brand highly regarded for taste and quality, El Tinieblo is an ultra premium artisanal mezcal hand-distilled in the state of Tamaulipas using methods passed down through generations of the Pérez-Salinas family. With culture and sustainability at the forefront, our family-owned brand works to boost the local economy, care for our land and wildlife, and honor the Mexican tradition of artisanal mezcal. Rancho El Tinieblo is a 9,000 acre farm and wildlife reserve in Tamaulipas where we grow our agave with no pesticides or insecticides and plant 25 for each one used. Our name, meaning “darkness,” comes from the heavy fog that descends over the ranch each morning. We harvest, cook, distill & age the agave from our ranch deriving the rich, complex flavor of roasted maguey, caramelized sugar, roasted fruit, flowers, vegetation and earth. Our expressions are then sealed one by one in our elegant 100% recycled hand-blown glass bottles and sent out to be enjoyed.
