La Escondida Reposado Mezcal

Mezcal production in Mexico was banned by the Spanish crown for almost 100 years in the early 18th century. However, local producers resisted and continued to produce Mezcal in the beautiful mountains of Oaxaca. Among them were some brave women who sold their Mezcal illegally from town to town, risking their own lives in the process. The brand La Escondida, meaning “the hidden lady”, was inspired by a local legend and created in honor of those women who have kept the tradition alive from then until now.
