Lalocura

Lalocura is the work of maestro mezcalero Eduardo ‘Lalo’ Ángeles Carreño, born and raised in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. Before founding the label in 2014, he learned beside his father, Don Lorenzo, and worked as the fourth generation of his family’s distilling tradition. He also holds a degree in agricultural engineering.

Agave is roasted in an earthen oven, mashed by hand, fermented outdoors and distilled in clay pots according to the long-established methods of Minas. Local craftspeople make the clay pots, fermentation vessels and harvesting tools used in the work.
