A tahona wheel is a traditional tool used in the production of mezcal, a type of distilled beverage made from the agave plant in Mexico. The tahona wheel is used to crush the agave plant and extract its juice, which is then fermented and distilled to create the final product.
The tahona wheel is typically made of stone and is mounted on an axis that allows it to be rotated by a donkey or a horse. The agave plant is placed on top of the wheel, and the donkey or horse is used to turn the wheel and crush the agave. This process helps to break down the tough fibers of the agave and extract its juice, which is then collected and used in the production of mezcal. The tahona wheel is an important part of the traditional production process for mezcal and is often considered a symbol of the authenticity and craftsmanship of the beverage. It is still used by some mezcal producers today, although it has largely been replaced by more modern methods of extracting agave juice. #mezcal #mezcalero #mezcalmonday #mezcalculture #agave #agavefamily #oaxaca #mexicanwhiskey #smokyspirits #craftcocktails #cocktailhour #sippingmezcal #mezcalgram #mezcalfiesta #mezcaleroofhell #mezcalenthusiast Hangin out with Gonzalo at Macurichos Mezcal. We had an amazing day watching this palenque operate.
Gonzalo then took us to a room where he had hundreds of old mezcal batches in glass jugs. He picked a couple and sampled away. This place is a must-stop when you are on the Mezcal trail in Oaxaca! Or when you stop into Aroma Thyme, Farm to Table Bistro, we have around 10 of Gonzalo's selections. Macurichos Mezcal Led by maestro mezcalero Gonzalo Martinez, Mezcal Macurichos is dedicated to the protection of the cultural tradition and the agricultural heritage of agave within the iconic mezcal production community of Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. The family employs numerous neighbors and is one of the rare distillers the area who still produce using Ancestral methods, including clay pot stills. Gonzalo and his brothers cultivate their own diverse fields of agave – planting from seed and reforesting the diminishing wild agave populations. #mezcal #mezcalancestral #Macurichos #matatlan #oaxacamexico #oaxacatravel #visitoaxaca #mezcaltour #palenque It's always great to have a distillery on a wine trail!
