The spirit that connects us
From the American Midwest to the mountains of Oaxaca, the cowboy spirit runs deep for our founder, Jeff —a fifth-generation farmer. When Jeff and his daughter Sydney arrived in Oaxaca 15 years ago, the first thing they did was plant agave—continuing the family legacy of working the soil and honoring what the land provides.
What they discovered wasn’t difference, but similarity. Their values—grit, resilience, community, respect for land—were the same values lived every day by Oaxacan families tending agave and cooking with open wood-fires.
From that shared spirit, Catedral Mezcal was born: built on authenticity, partnership, and a belief that great things grow slowly, with intention and respect.
When you choose Catedral Mezcal, you’re choosing more than a drink—you’re carrying the frontier forward. Raise a glass to legacy, grit, and the fire that connects us, because great mezcal isn’t just made—it’s lived.
Saludos,
Catedral Mezcal is an award-winning, father-daughter founded premium label redefining the mezcal category. In a market of mass-produced, celebrity-backed brands, Catedral stands apart with its authentic, cowboy-inspired design and producer-first philosophy.
PARTNERSHIP
We believe true partnership means shared success. That’s why every Oaxacan family we work with is an equity owner in our U.S. company. This unique partnership allows us to deliver a truly artisanal, 100% additive-free mezcal - an approachable price.
Disruptive branding
Inspired by the spirit of the Mexican cowboy, every bottle of Catedral Mezcal features a handcrafted artisanal leather “cowboy boot” that represents a different agave variety. Our leather is always sustainably and ethically sourced, ensuring integrity at every step. No two boots will be the same.
Every bottle tells a story
Scan the QR code on any bottle to meet the maestros in intimate black-and-white videos. Find all distilling and fermentation details on the description of each video. It’s our tribute to transparency, authenticity, and the beauty of the process.
Sustainability commitment
We’re transforming the future of wild agave cultivation. We have planted over 30 acres in Oaxaca and are on track to be 100% sustainable in 2028. Our ongoing commitment agave cultivation ensures a resilient supply chain and protects the natural ecosystem.
