So where to begin?The snake’s body jostles in the bottle as Israel pours a couple glasses of the powerful medicine. I’m not sure if it’s the trippy mezcal that I had just finished, but I swear I see the snake move on its own. “How did you find the snake?” I ask. “He came to me,” Israel responds, “He slid right into this room. He was lending me his spirit.” Israel hands me a glass. “Salud!” he toasts. The mezcal tastes like a dusty meat, and burns my throat as it goes down. Soon, on a trip to Oaxaca, the pair met the Garcia Morales family, which has been tending to the agave plants of San Dionisio, Oaxaca and supplying mezcal to their local community for generations. As Wigand explained in an interview with Flaviar, “We didn’t go down there thinking that this was going to be a business. This was something that just really slapped us in the face in a really beautiful way.” The group later partnered together in an effort to bring Madre Mezcal to the rest of the world. “We were able to grow with them, and they grew with us,” said Farfalla. While the brand launched in 2016, Madre Mezcal has been made for generations.
