REGION: Oaxaca

In Tlacolula, Oaxaca, Maestro mezcalero Gonzalo Martinez produces gin from local botanicals and the spent agave used in his family’s mezcal production. The resulting spirit speaks deeply of its provenance.
Since 1840, the Cortés family has been distilling maguey in the Zapotec town of Santiago Matatlán, gateway to the Oaxacan highlands: mezcal country. Casa Cortés is the driving force behind the award winning mezcales of El Jolgorio & Nuestra Soledad.
Alma Tepec is the first Mexican ancestral chile liqueur crafted from smoke-dried Pasilla Mixe chiles. Sourced in collaboration with the Mixe people and produced by a team of women known as Maestra Licoreras, Alma Tepec transports the unique flavor of these chiles far beyond the borders of Oaxaca.
