About Palenqueros
Palenqueros is a project initiated by La Maison & Velier’s Luca Gargano and involves six producers from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The initial series of 12 certified mezcals in 2019 was a collaboration project with Tradición Chagoya, which owns and operates other mezcal brands like Donaji and Los Cuerudos. The second series, released in 2024, featured 6 agave distillates and was solely a project of LM&V.
About Maguey Coyote
Maguey Coyote is a wild agave variety — often identified as Agave lyobaa — found in regions such as Oaxaca’s Tlacolula and Ocotlán valleys. It thrives in rugged, high-elevation terrain and typically forms relatively small rosettes surrounded by wide spacing between plants. Because the plant grows slowly and has a dense core with low moisture, mezcal produced from Coyote often presents strong minerality alongside earthy-herbal, vegetal, and spicy-pepper notes.
