Agua del Sol aims to make traditional mezcal accessible to local communities.  Bottling as a destilado de agave (and not "mezcal") allows producer partners to maintain traditional production methods and abide by local proofing.  Structured as a co-op, Agua del Sol supports community sustainability.
