Choosing inspiration over competition for a stronger community and a healthier way to do business.
Every year in October the pueblo erupts into a wild fiesta when the Maestro Mezcaleros (basically the mayor of the town) unearth last year’s mezcal that was aged in large glass jugs and buried 2 meters in the ground.
Unified by a love for the Earth and the people who live in it.
The management of the land, the care of the plants and the supervision of the production are in constant vigilance to guarantee a delicious final result. Since the production of this drink is one of the main sources of income for the mezcal families, we decided to work in solidarity with the marriage of Don Luiz and Doña Faustina, mezcal teachers who have acquired knowledge through their parents and grandparents, maintaining the tradition and preserving the culture of mezcal. We want to promote in each sip the richness of the artisan mezcal and the worldview that gives historical value, from the ancestral practices with the maguey, being one of the raw materials that has provided food, clothing and shelter to civilizations for 10,000 years and that currently it has been revalued, promoted and expanded, carrying with it the identity of our culture.
