El Cabron Agave Tequilana Distillate

Trying to change the perception of mixto Tequila, El Cabron has made an agave-based spirit with sustainability and good practice at the core of its process. It was produced by Don Lupe in Zacatecas, Mexico from blue agave, maguey honey, and cane sugar, while Lupe also employed a long fermentation process to create a clean, complex, and tasty spirit.

El Cabron agave spirits are carefully created to showcase what this superfood plant can produce. Using responisbly sourced agave, traditional methods and the best Maestros Mezcaleros (expert generational farmers), the farm to bottle production is carefully overseen at each stage to enure the highest standards.

The Tequiliana agave distillates are designed to represent and support the cultural revolution that is actively taking place in Mexico. El Cabron oppose regulations that threaten the biodiversity of the agave plant and the richness of the culture of Mezcal. El Cabron support local sustainability projects to grow wild agaves for the production of thier products and try to highlight these sustainability based issues.

The indiginous Huichol people are the inspiration. For centuries, they have been dedicated to their eco-religious philosophies and living in balance with nature. The Huichol beleive in the spirit of cummunity and embrace the connectivity between generations.
