In 2023, over 400 brands of mezcal were exported from Mexico despite many choosing not to certify their spirits, opting for 'distillates of agave' instead.
Brands like Ángeles Carreño are exemplifying best practices in mezcal production while advocating for women and biodiversity through initiatives such as Mujer Agave.
Choosing producer-owned brands or those with positive environmental practices can help support economic, environmental, and social justice amidst mezcal's industrialization.
The shift in the mezcal industry reflects a struggle between traditional methods and the pressures of industrialization, with many advocating for the preservation of customs.
