HISTORY
The origin of Casa Origen Diego Ruiz goes back to 2015, when the young Diego Ruiz Vargas decided to set aside the life he had just started in international politics and instead spend time with his family, namely his sick mother. After his mother’s passing, a wish to honor her was born within him, and he decided to invest the entirety of his capital in the production and distribution of mezcal. This led to the acquisition of a small family business of mezcal production with 168 years of experience.
The rest is a story of work and dedication based on solid principles such as simplicity, trust, honor and a dialogue with clients.

PROCESO
FARMING
After planting the agave is farmed for 8 years or up to 35 years, depending on the type of the agave. The wild agaves take the longest.
The success of the agaves depend upon the geographic zone, the climate conditions and the way they are taken care of. The best agaves are selected to elaborate a 100% natural and handcrafted mezcal, with a unique flavor and bouquet.
HARVESTING
The leaves of the agave known as capón (castrated) are cut. (this action is called jimar) until the heart of the agave is exposed. The hearts are transported to the production factory for the next step of the process.
COOKING
The agaves are poured into an oven and sealed so that the raw elements of the plant and the carbohydrates become sugar.
GRINDING
Once the plant is cooked it is grinded to remove the strings. This juice is called must.
FERMENTATION
After being grinded, the must is placed in tanks for its fermentation; that is, from the grinder it is placed in a wooden tub and left there for fermentation. Here, the sugar is transformed into alcohol thanks to the yeast.
DISTILLATION
After a “double distillation” the alcohol and the water settled in a copper pot still are separated getting the final product called mezcal.
