Pal’alma Mezcal

Pal’alma is the export brand for Almamezcalera, the bottling label from Mexico City’s notorious “Indiana Jones of Agave”, Erick Rodriguez. Equal parts historian and adventurer, Erick travels to remote production sites all over Mexico.

Deeply committed to local traditions and rooted in rustic ingenuity, Erick’s collaborators are all bona fide local legends in their own right. Working with just a single mezcalero per state, including several states (such as Nuevo León and Sonora) not currently acknowledged under the Mezcal Denomination of Origin, Erick bottles tiny batches of truly thrilling, uncertified agave distillates. His selections are presented at his small, appointment-only tasting room and as exclusive batches at iconic venues like Omar Hernandez Gallery in Oaxaca and Pujol in Mexico City.

Coveted by mezcal aficionados around the world, Erick’s spirits have previously only been available to consumers by meeting with him directly. We are honored and excited to help bring his aguardientes de agave to a wider audience!
