Maestro ‘Ángel’ Cruz Robles is a fifth generation mezcalero with over 10 Years of experience in artisanal mezcal production in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca. Located in the Sierra Madre del Sur, southwest Mexico Maestro Angel works with several agaves, all of them distilled in clay pots to deliver his true handcraft. Maguey ‘Coyote’ is a sub-species of the Agave Americana genus, oaxacensis.

Maestro Angel cooks the agave in traditional roasting pits, mills the cooked agave by hand with wooden mallets, then ferments in oak wood vats and distilled in clay pots. Although part of the genus Americana, one of the top agaves in terms of geographic distribution, this subspecies is found in a narrow area in the state of Oaxaca. It typically yields 1L of mezcal per 25 kgs of Agave and matures over an 8 to 10 years life cycle. We are honoured to exclusively import and share this brand with Australia.
