La Nia del Mezcal Cirial is made with maguey Cirial, which is a Karwinskii agave similar to Cuishe or Madre-cuishe. This mezcal is traditionally produced in a stone horno and fermented in pine vats. It is double-distilled in copper by Fulgencio Hernandez in Santa Maria Zoquitlan, Oaxaca.

Cecilia Rios Murrieta is a freelance writer and founded La Nia del Mezcal, a company that promotes awareness of artisan mezcal in order to preserve the traditional production processes and position it as a premium spirit in international markets. Her passion for mezcal led her to pursue certification as a Mezcalier, and later to establish one of the first blogs about Mezcal and the culture that surrounds it. For years, she served as the proud owner of this Mezcal line from Oaxaca and she shared her knowledge about the spirit through tastings and pairings, while creating alliances with other Mexican artisanal producers.
