La Maliciosa Mezcal

Mezcal La Maliciosa was founded by a team of young individuals from Oaxaca looking to exalt and preserve the traditional and artisanal production of mezcal. Their mezcal is made in Santiago Matatlán, which is a small community with a population of 3,500 located in the central valley of Oaxaca, less than an hour away from centro. You know you have arrived in Matatlán when you are surrounded by majestic ‘‘pencas de maguey,” visible on both sides of the state road that connects Oaxaca and Chiapas.
