Los Siete Misterios was founded by brothers Julio and Eduardo Mestre with the idea of bottling one mezcal for each traditional production method — clay pot, copper, wood, and the agaves that suit each. The result is a range organised around technique as much as species.

Doba-Yej, the espadín in the range, is the entry point and one of the better-value artisanal espadíns on the shelf; the name means espadín in Zapotec. Above it sit Barril, Coyote, Mexicano, Tobalá and Pechuga, several of which are distilled in clay.

Everything is produced in small batches with named mezcaleros across Oaxaca, and the range is consistent enough to be a common house pour while still rewarding side-by-side tasting.

What Los Siete Misterios is known for

Method-driven bottlings — especially clay-pot distillation — and an espadín that reliably over-delivers at its price.

Where to start in the range

Doba-Yej for the everyday bottle, Barril for clay-distilled depth, Coyote or Mexicano for wild-agave character, and Pechuga for the ceremonial end.
