FAQs

Can I send mezcal internationally?
No. If you’re thinking you’d like to send a bottle to a friend abroad, it’s probably best not to as even if the courier accepts the package, it’ll most likely get stopped at customs. You need a permission to export alcoholic beverages.
Can I travel with mezcal?
Each airline and country has its own rules regarding travelling with alcohol. We recommend you check with your baggage allowance with your airline (some permit up to 4 bottles in hold luggage), and also with your destination country’s regulations (this can vary from one to three litres of alcohol over 25% vol.)
Can I meet the Mezcal Maestros?
We regularly organise trips to our mezcal producing communities. If you’d be interested in one of these then the best thing to do is to sign up to our newsletter and/or keep an eye on our Events so you can be amongst the first to know. Of course you can also keep track of what we’re up to on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
What are your opening hours?
You can make an online purchase at any time day or night and your order will be processed the following working day. Our in-person sales services at El Salón are by appointment only and within the hours of 10am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
