Balam
Xavier Villagrán, whose family has worked in mezcal for three generations, is a raicilla pioneer founded BALAM fifteen years ago. Balam was the first raicilla brand to be marketed nationally in Mexico. Villagrán sources excellent artisanal spirits: mezcals in Oaxaca, raicilla in each of the three distilling regions of Jalisco (costa, sierra, llano), sotols from Chihuahua and Durango, and the rare churique from the tiny agave lechugilla.
