An Interview with Angelica Garcia Vazquez
Get to know Angelica as she tells us about her history, process, and her view of the future of mezcal production.
Why Besos de Angelica?
Because mezcal is meant to be "kissed" and savored, and to honor the work of master mezcalera Angelica Garcia Vasquez.
Por mujeres, para todos. By women, for all.
Generations of Tradition
Angelica Garcia Vasquez, second-generation master mezcalera, continues the tradition of artisanal mezcal production that her parents began during the Mexican prohibition in the town of San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca.
Wild-Sourced Maguey
Agaves are wild-sourced, roasted underground with Encino wood and volcanic stones, crushed by a stone mill, and then naturally fermented in wood barrels.
Hand Crafted in Small-Batches
The mezcal is then double-distilled in copper fired by Encino and Huizache wood.
Preserving the Process...
As it has always been done. With the heart, with the community, and with the unique taste only found in this region.
