MIL ALAS SPIRITS
About us
The best quality, hand in hand with environmental and social solidity
Mil Alas Spirits is a company that produces liquors of the highest quality from fine cocoa with a perfectly produced aroma, since it is key to obtaining the aromas and flavors. In addition, the company integrates solid principles of social and environmental compliance into its production philosophy. To achieve the best quality, knowledge and discipline are required, but environmental and social factors also influence. The more balanced the ecosystem where cocoa grows, the better aromas result in the cocoa beans and therefore in the liquors we make. The creation of agricultural and non-agricultural jobs for men and women contributes to local and regional development, so every bottle you buy helps us provide decent employment to many people.
​Our Story
We planted our first fine and aroma cocoa plants in 2017, with the idea of producing a crop that was profitable, respectful of the environment and that would allow us to transform it to generate agricultural and non-agricultural jobs for men and women. In 2018 the trees began to bear fruit and for this reason at the beginning of 2019 we began our journey to learn about cocoa and chocolate tasting to ensure the best quality of cocoa that would be translated into the best liquor, which has become many people´s favorite.
​
At the end of 2019, the first batch of Mil Alas went on sale, which sold quickly through social networks and from then on, we have been growing and complementing our portfolio and activities around the brand, such as tastings and pairings with chocolates, collaborations with restaurants and other producers and professionals.
​
2022 was a very important year for us because we launched our Single Estate, Mil Alas Nocturne and we competed for the first time in the prestigious International Chocolate Awards, with the idea of obtaining professional feedback and starting the steps to export our products. We obtained a Gold Award, making Mil Alas the best alcoholic beverage based on cocoa or chocolate in the World, and a Special Mention, for being a product that is industrialized in the same country of origin of the cocoa beans, Guatemala. We competed again in the 2024 edition and won a second World Gold and a Special Mention for using local ingredients, becoming double World Champions of Alcoholic Beverages made from cocoa or chocolate.
