Born from a chance encounter and fueled by curiosity and passion, Mezcal de Leyendas is a brand on a mission. Its story began over 15 years ago with a fortuitous meeting at a wedding in Oaxaca. This unsuspected encounter ignited an interest that led its founders on a journey deep into the fascinating world of mezcal.
In 2005, when tequila was the drink of choice, Mezcal de Leyendas boldly set a new course. They established “La Botica,” the first mezcal bar in Mexico City, generating intrigue around mezcal and marking the beginning of the brand’s extensive exploration of this exceptional beverage.
Far from being confined to the well-explored mezcals of Oaxaca, Mezcal de Leyendas leaped various regions within Mezcal’s Denomination of Origin (D.O.) – the world’s largest. They also ventured into lesser-known regions that, while producing exceptional spirits, are precluded from using the term ‘mezcal’ due to their location outside the D.O.
The brand’s thirst for novelty led them to experiment with rare and previously unused agave species. This audacious experimentation resulted in some of the most unique mezcals in today’s market.
Among their proudest achievements is the production of Solar Mezcal, the world’s first mezcal distilled exclusively with solar power. This groundbreaking approach minimizes environmental impact, highlights the true flavors of the agave, and produces a clean, non-smoked, and supremely smooth spirit.
Mezcal de Leyendas envisions a future where mezcal will be recognized as the “Wine of Distillates” due to its unparalleled flavors amongst distilled spirits.
The mission of Mezcal de Leyendas is to transform the perception of Mezcal. They strive to demonstrate that mezcal is more than a distillate with a worm or a spirit produced solely in Oaxaca. Instead, they aim to showcase mezcal as a diverse universe of unique distillates that mirror Mexico’s rich variety of agave regions.
For those ready to dive into mezcal, Mezcal de Leyendas stands as a seasoned guide. The brand invites everyone to join them in unraveling the enigma of mezcal as they embark on a captivating journey into this complex and beautiful world of spirits.
