Our agave Journey
Deep in the Oaxacan highlands back in 2017, we stood amidst towering agave plants as we began to understand the culture and history of artisanal mezcal production in Mexico. Motivated by the idea of preserving indigenous Mexican traditions and generating funds to provide services for return-migrants in Mexico, we created Bad Hombre Importing.
Mission
Bad Hombre Importing sources ethically produced agave spirits for both local and high-end retailers.
We work exclusively with suppliers committed to providing fair living wages and sustainable agave harvesting. Our team believes in an education-first approach to sales, so the unique stories of our partners and their spirits are center stage. Our accounts thrive by bringing these ancient spirits to life for their conscious consumers.
Vision
Bad Hombre Importing works to empower producers with control and scalability by integrating the gusto historico and traditional mezcal production practices with a knowledgable approach to marketing and distribution in one streamlined solution.
Each of our product offerings respects the methods, magueyes, and volumes historically seen in its respective region. We believe that education is the key to maintaining the integrity and sustainability of traditional mezcal production. Similarly, we see it as a viable path for integrating generations new and old.
Enjoy with respect. A tu salud!

Agua del sol
Destilado de agave
The AGUA DEL SOL project arose from a meeting of master mezcaleros at the Mezcaleria CUISH. Bottled as a Destilado de Agave, Agua del Sol maintains tradition and abides by gusto historico, or local proofing, not bound by these regulations. We make heritage agave spirits accessible to local Mexican communities once more by reserving portions of every batch for domestic consumption, sold in five and ten-liter handmade garrafones.
Each expression is produced in the traditional fashion, using a tahona mill, then naturally fermented in sabino wood vats, and twice distilled in copper alembic stills.
AGUA DEL SOL TOBASICHE (IV/2019) was produced from 100% Agave Karwinskii by Maestra Mezcalera Berta Vásquez. This 300-liter batch was yielded in April 2019 at her palenque in San Baltazar Chichicápam, Oaxaca. This unique distillate layers bright notes of citrus and pine. ABV: 46%
