Aventureros del Mezcal has become a tireless promoter of Mexican spirits, with or without designation of origin. However, there is still a lot of work to do. In the thirteen years of work experience that we have gained in the mezcal world, we never imagined that there would be a boom on the market, but it happened. Currently, it is in full swing, so it is important to promote projects with social responsibility, hence we promote the following services:

We give training to producers to professionalize their business and to launch their brand. Additionally, we provide guidance and backup for accreditation of the mezcal brand, requirements for SAT, COFEPRIS, IMPI, CRM, CIDAM, PAMFa, CMX, GS1, and all the instances to launch the product to the market.

For companies or entrepreneurs that want to launch their mezcal brand, we search for producers that accomplish the required characteristics of the mezcal. We not only select the producer (Maestro Mezcalero) but also care for fair commerce and social responsibility.

Provide consulting to producers, companies, and entrepreneurs who want to build a mezcal factory or Palenque. It is important to mention that we focus on sustainable factories with an energy approach, waste treatment, and process efficiency.

With over 10 years of experience in the mezcal industry, we can give some advice to make improvements in the production process. Improvements in yield, quality of the product, and setting up the sensorial profile according to the target market.
