Some of the best mezcal is made by Rogelio Juan Hernández, maestro mezcalero and co-founder of Agua Mágica in Oaxaca, Mexico. He began learning the craft at the age of 13 and has since honed his skills. Hernández and his team of mezcaleros handcraft 3,000 liters of mezcal each month. They harvest and roast agave, then cook, ferment, and distill the spirit. The result is a subtle yet versatile mezcal that bartenders around the world use in cocktails or serve straight over ice.
