Rare, traditional, and deeply expressive.

Crafted in Rancho Blanco Güilá, Oaxaca, this limited-edition mezcal is made from 100% wild Tobalá agave using true ancestral methods. Distilled in clay pots with a hollowed-out agave quiote as the condenser, it revives a near-lost technique once used by maestro Silverio García Luis’s father. The result is a small-batch spirit that honors heritage while delivering incredible depth and flavor.
