Liqueurs
Casa D’Aristi is a family-owned distillery from Mérida, Yucatán, founded in 1935 and recognized for preserving authentic Mayan traditions through the use of local ingredients and artisanal production methods. Its signature product, Xtabentún, is crafted from fermented honey of the native stingless Melipona beecheii bees, blended with anise and rum, creating a distinctive profile rooted in regional heritage and shaped by historical influences.
Production remains small-scale and hands-on, with limited honey availability contributing to the liqueur’s complexity and pronounced sense of place. The portfolio also includes Kalani, a coconut liqueur made with rum and fresh coconut notes, and Huana, a soursop-based liqueur known for its refreshing, lightly tropical character.
Casa D’Aristi’s approach emphasizes natural aromas, traditional fermentation techniques, and slow flavor development, resulting in liqueurs that faithfully express the identity and terroir of Yucatán.
