Our distillery is located in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca, Mexico. The palenque is third generation owned and operated by talented maestro mezcalero Jorge Aaron Cortes. The palenque's maestro mezcalero united with Firme Mezcal on a common idea of producing quality artisanal Mezcal. Firme Mezcal strive to keep the unique and proper traditions of making mezcal passed down from generations to generations. 

Our maestro mezcalero is involved in every step of the distillery process from hand picking the right mature agaves to setting the conical stove oven a blaze with traditional oak wood and volcanic rocks, to the grinding of the cooked agave on a horse pulled stone grinder (Tajona). The mezcal makers have pride and respect for their product that is regulated by a government entity and keeps production with ecological and sustainability goals in mind.
