Our Story

Tradition in Every Bottle

Our ‘palenque’, or family estate, has been making mezcal for 100 years. The MAXIMO family includes master mezcaleros who have honed their trade through time-tested tradition passed from father–and mother– to child.

We own our own fields of agave and we make our mezcal in the distillery built by our grandfather. We grow, we harvest, we distill, we bottle, we label, and we box our bottles in cases that ship from our land. There are no middlemen.

Our History is our Heritage

Mezcal has been made in Oaxaca for nearly 500 years. Our people, like our product, are a perfect blend of history and tradition. Our Zapotec ancestors passed along their knowledge of the produce of the fields, and with the Spanish introduction of distillation our people have perfected the spirits that’s become our patrimony.
