Nacional 1938 is made with maguey Espadin and maguey Cirial in Santiago Matatln, Oaxaca. Maestro Mezcalero Celso Martinez Lopez uses traditional mezcal production methods and double-distills this mezcal in a small copper still. Nacional 1938 commemorates the expropriation of Mexican oil reserves in 1938. In 1938, the Mexican government declared oil reserves within Mexico belonged to the nation. Nationalization, however, came at a heavy price as it precipitated an international boycott of Mexico. The boycott caused great economic strain to a country already in the midst of a worldwide economic depression. This spirit was awarded Best Mezcal at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
