How it all started; One evening co-founder David found himself deep in the mountains of Oaxaca Mexico, at the palenque of Maestro Mezcalero Jerónimo Gutiérrez Hernández. What started as a tasting, turned into an unexpected and unforgettable night when a roadblock left David with no choice but to stay. A short visit became a long evening of mezcal, sparking a friendship and David’s love for the craft.
Moved by this experience, David returned to Europe with a new purpose: to bring this artisanal drink to a wider audience. With the support of a dedicated team, Pinchudo Mezcal was born, honoring the tradition of mezcal-making and the spirit of that night. Their mission is clear: support local Mexican communities and ensure the craft of mezcal lives on for future generations.
