Mal Bien Espadín Tomás + Emiliano Gutiérrez

Mal Bien is a collection of agave spirits from small producers throughout Mexico, curated by spirits nerds and agave lovers during their travels in search of the delicious, authentic, and interesting. 

Don Tomás and his son Emiliano are third and fourth generation mezcaleros in the hills above Chilapa de Alvarez. Like many of their peers, the Gutiérrez family points to the quality their maguey as the determining factor in the quality of their destilados. To ensure that continues, the family has invested in a nursery program that includes 50,000+ papalote seedlings in their care.

Look for notes of milk chocolate and chiles as a signature in their batches.
