Lalocura and their philosophy were born out of two guiding principles: the preservation of knowledge and tradition, and the sustainable use of our community’s natural resources.

They produce mezcal with the same materials and methods that my family has used for more than 100 years (Lalo is part of the fourth generation), and they believe continuing this tradition ensures a better future for everyone. They do this by teaching the young people who work at Lalocura all about agave - how to care for, propagate, cultivate, and plant them - and how to make each of their mezcales with an understanding that each batch contains identity, history, and a future as well. Lalo emphasizes the future, because it is never the past that hangs in the balance. Their ability to keep these traditions alive is what will give future generations the chance to know their heritage and who they are as a people. Just knowing that there are already batches of mezcal made by these kids gives Lalo great satisfaction.
