"Nestled into the side of a steep ravine, the ranch settling of Lachiguí is home to the Vasquez family. It is a complex of humble structures that house 128 members of extended family with the nearest small village of El Palmar some 30 minutes drive along precipitous, mountainside dirt roads. At 7,414 feet elevation, Lachiguí is our highest elevation palenque by over 1,500 feet. The extreme growing conditions produce some of the most complex mezcals with elegance and nuance that complements their massive strength. Pedro Vasquez, the maestro mezcalero is a master at his craft and produces many of the most prized expressions of El Jolgorio mezcals including Arruqueño, Tobalá and Tepeztate."
