We are proud to have delighted consumers with an excellent artisanal mezcal and are confident that as part of Diageo, one of the largest and most respected spirits companies in the world, Mezcal Unión will continue to support development of the category, open doors to new markets and strengthen our brand mission.”August, 2021. Mexico City – Today, Diageo announces it has reached an agreement to acquire Mezcal Unión through the acquisition of Casa UM. Mezcal Unión was launched in 2011 by a group of Mexican entrepreneurs with the purpose of developing the category while generating positive social impact and preserving traditional production. Mezcal Unión’s founders will continue to be involved in the business to support the brand’s future success and growth. So the journey continued with a clear understanding of the path: to create a union of mezcal with different producer families. From there Mezcal Unión was born, carrying that message in every bottle.

Not all bottles of mezcal contain a " worm" (actually the larva of a moth, Comadia redtenbacheri, that can infest agave plants), but if added, it is added during the bottling process. [19] There are conflicting stories as to why such a thing would be added. Some state that it is a marketing ploy. [5] Others state that it is there to prove that the mezcal is fit to drink, [18] and still others state that the larva is there to impart flavor. [9] [19] Internationally, mezcal has been recognized as an Appellation of Origin (AO, DO) since 1994. [13] [14] There is also a Geographical Indication (GI), originally limited to the states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Durango, San Luis Potosí, Puebla and Zacatecas. Similar products are made in Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán, and Tamaulipas, but these have not been included in the mezcal DO. [14] Durling added: “Although mezcal is booming, there is a concern it will fall victim to industrial processes to keep up with demand, which would go against the core ethos of the craftsmanship of mezcal. The complex flavour profile of the mezcal recalls the smoke of whiskey, the varietals of wine, and the blendability of gin. Zavala, Juan Carlos (11 January 2021).
