"Luckily for drinkers, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition just released their list of the five best Mezcals from their 2024 tastings. Known as the "Oscars of the Spirit World," over 5,000 products were blind taste tested this year across a wide variety of categories. Making their finalist list for the Best of Awards that will be announced in October is an ultimate achievement for any brand. For a consumer, it cuts through the chaff and shines a light on some exceptional bottles that should be sought out." -Forbes We're thrilled to announce being selected as a "Best of Mezcal" finalist at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition!

About us
We want to be known globally as the brand that expanded and elevated the mainstream perception of mezcal- shifting the mezcal narrative from “smoky tequila” to an intriguing and delicious premium spirit category that encompasses a wide spectrum of agave types, flavor profiles, and price points. Mala Mía means "my bad," and it is our way of paying our respects to the rare and mighty Magueys for allowing us to use their power for our Mala Mía Artesanal Mezcals. Our first collection presents a selection of 6 rare Magueys distilled by 3rd Generation Maestro Mezcalero, Saturnino Martínez Méndez, at PALENQUE TEPEXTATE in the village of Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. The Protected Denomination of Origin for Mezcal protects the distillation of 37 Agave species (referred to as "Magueys") from 9 different Mexican regions. Mezcal is made in distilleries called "Palenques" led by "Maestro Mezcaleros." The combination of each region and Palenque's traditional production methods and each Maguey's unique characteristics and maturation process informs the magical flavors highlighted in our Mezcals.

The 2024 Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America Access Live conference was a blast! I was able to meet Dia Simms, the head of Lobos1707 and Co-Founder of Pronghorn! I’ve been following her career for some time and it was exciting to finally make her acquaintance! I also connected with fellow West Point grad, Lowell G. of Lipman Brothers / R.S. Lipman Company who was one of Mala Mía Mezcal’s earliest supporters! We will be coming to Tennessee via the Nashville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville metroplexes! Can’t wait to make more industry friends next year and continue building our existing relationships!
