Our Story

About Us-2.png

The Fire 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 the land.

They recognized a familiar spirit. The grit, community, and reverence for the land they cherished were the very qualities that shaped life in Oaxaca. From that shared spirit, Catedral Mezcal was born: built on authenticity, partnership, and a belief that great things grow slowly, with intention and respect.

Raise a glass to family, grit, and the fire that connects us, because great mezcal isn’t just made - it’s lived.

Saludos,

 
 
 
 

Who we are

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. Blending traditional craft with modern style, Catedral Mezcal honors heritage while telling a story of legacy, family, and authenticity.

PARTNERSHIP

We believe true partnership means shared success. Our mezcal is crafted by independent mezcaleros in Oaxaca, who are equity owners in our US brand. This unique partnership allows us to deliver a truly artisanal, 100% additive-free mezcal at approachable pricing.

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 of agave 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.
