Artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca
Come taste the fire
A single-maker, ultra-premium mezcal from San Dionisio Ocotepec. Our signature Espadín is red. Once you have tasted it, you won’t confuse it with anything else.
From myth to living spirit
Narrated by Ángel Bazán.
Made by Benjamín Morales García
Fuego Bendito is made by a third-generation master mezcalero in San Dionisio Ocotepec, in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca. There is no blend of producers and no anonymous lot: one distillery, one family, one way of working. The agave, the fire and a patience passed down through three generations.
Our Mezcals
Four expressions, joven and 100% maguey, made by one hand in one distillery. From the red to the rare.
Espadín
A. angustifolia + cochineal — 46% ABV · 2,376 bottles. The signature. Finished with cochineal, the red that started it all.
Arroqueño
A. americana — 46% ABV · 792 bottles. A great, slow agave, harvested only when it is ready.
Mexicano
A. rhodacantha — 48% ABV · Numbered by hand. A rare agave in a numbered edition, each bottle marked at the distillery.
Jabalí
A. convallis — 48% ABV · Numbered by hand. One of the most demanding agaves to distill. It is earned, not rushed.

Sacred. Wild. Unapologetically alive.
We are the children of fire and earth. Of smoke and silence. Of ritual and rebellion. The most powerful fires are not the loudest, but the ones that stay with you long after the flame has faded.
