Nestled in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca—the world capital of mezcal— Mezcal Meztlán is more than a brand. It is a living tribute to family tradition, Zapotec culture, and the spiritual depth of the agave plant. Founded by Ignacio Gutiérrez Santiago, Meztlán represents four generations of mezcaleros who remain committed to honoring ancestral knowledge while producing authentic, small-batch mezcal of exceptional quality.

The launch of COMERCAM’s Distintivo Verde marks a turning point for mezcal. This sustainability certification recognizes producers who protect biodiversity, support their communities, and respect the land. At Passport Destilados, we’re proud to help small-batch mezcaleros achieve these standards while connecting them to U.S. retailers and consumers who value authenticity and responsibility.
