Wilfrido García Sánchez

Logoche, Oaxaca

The Maestro

Wilfrido García Sánchez is a third-generation mezcalero and maguey grower from Logoche, a tiny mountain village in the Sierra Sur of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. At age twelve, he began learning the craft from his parents and grandparents, working the land and doing the hard, physical work of making mezcal by hand. Wilfrido is deeply committed to rescuing native maguey varieties and preserving tradition. With just about 100 people in his village, the mineral-rich red, black, and white soils give his agave spirits its distinct flavor, a true expression of place. Every batch is a family effort, made with patience, pride, and passion.
