We fell in love with Mezcal de Leyendas story to improve some of Mexico's most marginalized communities and their work to produce ecologically responsible mezcals.
Added to our collection is the Maguey 'Coyote', Maguey Tobalo, Maguey Pinchumel, and the Vinta Solar, the first mezcal to be distilled only using solar energy.
