Mezcal Monte Alban was one of the first mezcals to be marketed worldwide.
Today, it is distilled in a continuous still from the Espadin agave plant, following a modern production method, by means of the 'difusor', a machine that carries out the entire process from the raw agave to the column stills.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
