Story

We’re on a mission to share exceptional agave spirits that honor tradition, community, and the land.

The Founder

Andy Bardon

As a National Geographic Photographer, former Exum Mountain Guide, and athlete, founder Andy Bardon acutely understands that what we put into our bodies and out into the world matters. 

While shooting photos in Jalisco, Mexico, Andy met with the Rosales family, whose traditions date back to 1904. They decided to team up and create the cleanest expression of tequila possible to share with the world.

Spirits that would help bring people together to laugh, celebrate, and connect as a community for the common good. 

We invite you to join our journey. Salud

Tequila Distiller

El Cascahuin

The family-run distillery of Cascahuin (NOM 1123) has traditions dating back to 1904 and is under the watchful eye of Master Distiller Don Salvador Rosales Torres. Along with his sons Salvador (“Chava”), and Benjamin, the Rosales family creates some of the finest tequila on earth. We are proud to partner with this family distillery where tradition, sustainability, and quality matter. And we are honored to help tell their story to a new breed of conscious consumers (NOM 1123).

Mezcal Esamble Distiller

Maestro Velasco

Down the windy dirt roads and over the steep hillsides of the Oaxacan mountains you’ll find San Luis Del Rio. A small village producing some of the finest mezcal on earth. This particular Ensamble is the work of Joel Velasco. Additive-free and sustainably made we’re proud to help put this bottle in your hands. Salud


Deep in the heart of the mountains of Oaxaca lies the small village of San Luis del Rio. Produced under the watchful eye of Joel Velsasco this mezcal is a blend of Espadin and Tobala agaves. This additive-free artisanal mezcal honors tradition. A tradition of sustainability, environmental awareness, and hand made products. 

Mezcal espadin distiller

Maestro Damián

In the rugged terrain of Sola de Vega, Oaxaca, maestro mezcalero Isidro Damian crafts this exceptional Espadin mezcal using time-honored clay pot distillation. The traditional earthen vessels impart a distinct character to this artisanal spirit, coaxing forth profound notes of dark cacao, supple leather, and rich chocolate. This mezcal exemplifies the ancestral methods that have been passed down through generations in the region, where each batch is carefully tended to preserve the true essence of the agave. Damian's commitment to ancestral production methods and his deep understanding of the terroir results in a mezcal that tells the story of its origins in every sip.

Mezcal Cuishe Distiller

Maestro García

High in the arid mountains of San Luis Amatlan, maestro mezcalero Gregorio Garcia transforms wild Cuishe agave into this remarkable expression. The desert elevation and stark landscape forge a mezcal that captures the essence of its untamed environment. Bright, herbaceous notes of fresh celery and cilantro dance with crisp green apple, while a profound minerality speaks to the region's rugged terroir. This vibrant spirit showcases Garcia's masterful ability to preserve the agave's natural character, resulting in a clean, exhilarating mezcal that embodies the wild soul of Oaxaca's high country. Each sip offers a pristine window into this unique microclimate where the Cuishe thrives among the clouds.
