Mezcal categories

According to the Consejo Regulador del Mezcal, this spirit can be classified in three main categories

Mezcal

In this category it is allowed the use of autoclaves (pressure cookers), shredders, stainless steel fermentation, and column still distillation. This basically permits industrial production to continue for certain brands. One key point is that a diffuser can no longer be used in this Category (or any other) for mezcal production.

Artisanal Mezcal

Stainless steel fermentation and autoclaves are not allowed while shredders are still ok to use. Distillation has to be in clay pots or copper stills and it needs to be single batch.

Ancestral Mezcal

The batches are small so the production process is longer. For a Mezcal to be able to fit in this category it has to be produced in pit ovens, must use maguey fibres and distillation has to happen in clay pots (where maguey fibers must be used). Shredders and stainless steel fermentation are not allowed
