Banhez is a producer-owned Mezcal co-op based in Ejutla, Oaxaca known officially as the Unión Productores de Agropecuarios del Distrito de Ejutla de Crespo (UPADEC). This group of traditional producers work together to produce a brand that is more sustainable and efficient for the makers and the natural environment. 

This is an eau-de-vie of Pineapples harvested in Tuxtepec Oaxaca. Maestros Eutimio Coranado, Willy Garcia, Manuel Cuevas, & Marcelino Martinez work together to create this product. Perfectly ripe pineapples are fermented for 5 days and distilled just once in a copper refrescadera still. It is bursting with aromas of fresh pineapple. On the palate it is impossibly sweet for a spirit that contains no added sugar or flavorings. It finishes dry with a lovely tropical fruit note and just a whisper of prickly alcohol. This is a triumph.
