First launched in 2019, the PALENQUEROS range makes a long-awaited return to the US Market. Five years after the inaugural release, this second range illustrates that while many things can change - the availability of certain agaves, trends in the market, shipping costs - the quality spirit of a maestro palenquero is timeless.

When curating this collection of destilado de agave, the focus goes beyond the villages or agave varieties — this range honors the master distillers themselves: the palenqueros. Their names are proudly displayed on the labels, with their portraits featured on each bottle to highlight their craftsmanship. PALENQUEROS is a collaborative project celebrating the expertise of six artisanal producers from various villages in the state of Oaxaca with project coordinator Hector Vazquez.

Each bottling is made by producers who use only organically harvested (no pesticides) agaves, cooked and fermented spontaneously with the natural ambient yeast unique to each distillery. Distilled on small pot stills and bottled at full proof to preserve the authenticity of their historical flavors. PALENQUEROS seeks to draw a detailed map of the rich history of Oaxaca's terroir, the diversity of agave species and the natural conditions that give the agave a deep formation during its long growing process.
