60 Minutes Profile
It is the honor of a lifetime to represent the mezcal community in Oaxaca along with our partner mezcaleros at Palenque Mal de Amor.
Ilegal News
Watch the entire segment above.
The Hernandez brothers, Armando and Alvaro - are fourth-generation mezcaleros from an indigenous Zapotec family. They learned the craft from their father, Silverio. Today they run Mal de Amor, one of Matatlán's largest distilleries, or palenques.
Sharing the story of Ilegal and the Hernandez brothers to the 60 Minutes audience is a humbling reminder of how far we have come, and our heightened responsibility to preserve the traditions of handcrafted mezcal in Oaxaca.
