Our Story

Introducing Raca Leza, where tradition meets adventure in every sip. Our story begins in the heart of Oaxaca, where for over a century, our family has nurtured the sacred Maguey Agave on our ancestral farm. It's here, amidst the rugged beauty of the Oaxacan landscape, that the seeds of Raca Leza were sown.

Inspired by the camaraderie of friendship, our name, "Raca Leza," meaning "Dangerous Friends," embodies the spirit of our journey. It all started with a few small batch bottles shared amongst friends. Their enthusiastic response ignited our passion to share the distinct character of our Mezcal with the world.

What sets Raca Leza apart is not just its smoothness or richness of flavor but the essence of tradition and heritage infused into every drop. Handcrafted using age-old techniques passed down through generations, our Mezcal captures the essence of Oaxaca's rich cultural tapestry.

In 2019, fueled by our friends' encouragement, we embarked on a mission to bring Raca Leza to a broader audience. Collaborating closely with our family in Oaxaca, we meticulously crafted and bottled our Mezcal, ensuring each batch remained true to its roots.

Central to our brand identity is the Aztec-inspired design featuring a donkey, symbolizing our family's deep connection to ancient traditions. This noble creature embodies the spirit of hard work and perseverance, mirroring the manual crushing of agave in the traditional Mezcal-making process.

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Raca Leza Reposado Mezcal, a testament to our dedication and passion. Whether enjoyed neat, in a cocktail, or as part of a shared moment amongst friends, Raca Leza promises an unforgettable experience.

As we take our first steps into the world of distribution, we invite you to join us on this journey. With each bottle of Raca Leza, you not only taste the essence of Oaxaca but become a part of our family's legacy—a legacy built on friendship, tradition, and the pursuit of excellence. Welcome to the world of Raca Leza, where every sip tells a story.
