About Despatriado
Story behind
Despatriado
He becomes an agave farmer on weekends in his native state of Oaxaca.
The brand was born in 2020 as a result of an extraordinary event in its owner’s life.
After reflecting following a heart attack, he decides to reduce the stress he endured during 30 years in the automotive industry and becomes an agave farmer on weekends in his native state of Oaxaca.
During that time, he meets other agave farmers and mezcal producers, who share with him the challenges of finding employment and the lack of resources to become independent or promote the products they create. This is where the desire arises to get involved in the Oaxacan mezcal industry — to engage with the community, take part in rural and artisanal life, and provide financial support to his fellow countrymen who, despite their hard work and honesty, are often forced to leave their communities in search of a livelihood and a better future for their families.
Our Mission
Promote Mexican culture through the production and commercialization of Mezcal crafted by expert hands of humble yet wise men and women, bearers of the cultural legacy of their ancestors. Additionally, promote the economic development of its collaborators through fair trade.
Our Vision
Small-batch Mezcal producers focused on quality as a fundamental value, with sustainable production, fair wages, and integrity in all their processes. We assist local producers collaborating with our company to become independent by creating their own brands.
