Wahaka Mezcal

 
 

ABOUT:

Wahaka Mezcal is an artisanal spirit rooted in Oaxaca, Mexico, and is defined by its deep commitment to tradition.

The brand is owned and produced by a single indigenous Zapotec family, whose lineage traces back to the very beginnings of mezcal production.

Handmade by a 5th Generation mezcalero, the operation is overseen by owner Alberto Morales, who continues to craft every bottle from his family's village.

The core philosophy of Wahaka is to preserve the heritage of this "Old World" tradition, actively defending true, artisanal mezcal against industrialization and stewarding the ancient process "from plant to bottle, without compromise."
