Gracias a Dios was founded with a dedication to produce the best quality mezcal, which respects tradition, the environment, and the people they work with.

60% of the water used in its process is collected rainwater— approximately 180,000 liters per year.

100% of the energy required in its Palenque comes from solar power. Its Palenque is made entirely out of agave bricks, which have been crafted from solid waste leftover from the production process. Angel on the label represents who they are as Mexicans. No matter what problem they face, the future makes them smile.

Gracias a Dios translates to “Thank God,” a phrase that owners heard throughout their childhoods. It has a positive, non-religious meaning—it reminds them of family values. Gracias a Dios Espadin Mezcal uses traditional production methods, is double distilled, and made with 8-year-old cultivated agave from Oaxaca’s Central Valleys.
