In the depths of the valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico, the ancestral tribe Xochagual worshipped the enigmatic Chagual, a being endowed with supernatural powers who mediated between humans and gods. It was believed to dwell in the deepest caves of the mountain and was both a benevolent protector and unleasher of natural forces when harmony was disturbed. The Xochaguals honored it with offerings and ceremonies, turning it into an immortal legend that teaches respect and connection with nature.

Our physical origin starts in the central valleys of the Oaxacan highlands, where the mountains have more life and time than any other being on earth.
Born in San Baltazar Chichicapam
Where mezcal tradition lives in the land.
In the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, San Baltazar Chichicapam
has long been revered as one of mezcal’s
ancestral strongholds.
Here, mineral-rich soils, high-altitude conditions,
and generations of inherited knowledge shape spirits
of remarkable character. It is from this origin that Chagual
draws its depth an expression defined as much
by place as by the hands that craft it.
