WE ARE MADE IN OAXACA

9 REINOS IS AN ANCIENT SPIRIT BIRTHED FROM OUR AGAVE ESPADÍN IN OAXACA. THIS AUTHENTIC MEZCAL, HAS TRAVELED THE NINE REALMS TO ACHIEVE THE FREEDOM OF ITS SOUL.

OUR PROCESS, CONSISTING OF THE HANDLING OF SMALL BATCHES, DELIVERS A SMOKED BUT COMPLEX FLAVOR AWAITING IN EVERY BOTTLE FOR THE BRAVEST TO TASTE.

OUR STORY

A LONG TIME AGO, THE DEAD HAD TO PURIFY THEIR SOUL THROUGH 9 EXTREME TESTS TO REACH THE PLACE FOR THEIR FINAL REST: MICTLÁN. LEGEND HAS IT THAT OUR DEAD HAD TO BE VEILED FOR 4 YEARS, WHILE IN THE UNDERWORLD THEIR SOULS FOUGHT INTENSE TRIALS UNTIL THEY DELIVERED AN OFFERING TO MICTLANTECUHTLI (OUR PREHISPANIC GOD) AND LATER LIBERATED THEIR SOUL (TONALLI) FROM THE SUFFERING OF THE CARNAL BODY. THIS ANCIENT MEXICAN RITUAL INSPIRED OUR 9-STEP PROCESS THAT RELEASES A UNIQUE SPIRIT MADE FOR THE BRAVEST TO TASTE.

THE TECOLOTE

THE MESSENGER OF MICTLÁN

THE OWL OR "TECOLOTE" IN NAHUATL WAS ONE OF MICTLANTECUHTLI'S ASSISTANTS. HE IS KNOWN AS THE MESSENGER OF THE LORDS OF MICTLÁN, BEING ONE OF THE FEW ANIMAL BEINGS TO COME AND GO BETWEEN THE WORLD OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. IF YOU LISTENED TO HIS SINGING IN LIFE, IT WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT YOU WOULD SOON HAVE TO WALK THE PATH TO THE UNDERWORLD AND FIGHT TO FREE YOUR SOUL.
