TASTE THE LEGEND
THE LEGEND OF THE
PUERCOLEON
THE MEXCAL ALEBRIJE
The story goes that one day, while the master mezcalero was working in his distillery striving to craft the perfect mezcal, he decided to taste his latest batch. With the first sip, he fell into a delirium. A radiant creature, hard to discern, appeared to him, which he would describe as a piglet from whose head sprouted agave sparkles, resembling the mane of a lion.
This mystical creature unveiled to the master the purest and most divine process to make mezcal. Eagerly, the master followed every step dictated by the Puercoleón, and as soon as it came to light, his mezcal became the most famous in the region, turning into a favorite for many.
In honor and gratitude to the creature, the master had ordered an alebrije to be carved that vividly capture every detail of the Puercoleón.
Some say that they have seen it on the streets of Oaxaca and in the dreams of those who taste it. Today, each bottle of Puercoleón contains the secrets revealed by the mystical
creature.
