This release revives a García family tradition from Rancho Blanco Güilá, Oaxaca, dating back to a time when mezcal production was clandestine. Crafted by Silverio García Luis, the production method includes distillation in clay pots using a distillation tube made from quiote—the flowering stalk of agave plants—replacing traditional copper equipment to evade detection during the 1960s and 1970s.
