About Us

The journey behind every bottle of Fósforo Mezcal begins a slow 90-minute drive outside of the city of Puebla, MX. The bottles of Fósforo we make today are the product of hand-picked agaves that have matured for between 8-15 years under the watchful eye of our Master mezcalero, Aarón Alva Sánchez. The Fósforo brand starts with Jim Cramer’s passion for the mezcal category. Over the past 15 years, Jim has tasted over 200 mezcals and is a true mezcal connoisseur. Lisa Detwiler––Jim’s wife––took Jim’s passion and developed a stunning package and brand platform that mirrors the quality of the liquid inside the bottle. It has taken over 5 years to bring to life, and we think you will agree that Fósforo Mezcal was worth the wait.
