Pedro Vásquez is a third generation mezcalero from the remote region of Lachiguí. The landscape there is a nearly impenetrable zone in the Sierra Sur Mountains, stacked with miles of jagged mountains rising up from valleys filled with deep shadows and ancient secrets. Tio Pedro is one of the most experienced mezcaleros working in this area, and as the years have passed, his three sons, Librado, Eugenio, and Pedro Jr., have taken on larger roles at the palenque. Under the guidance of their father, they have become maestro mezcaleros themselves, and recently, even their sons have begun to work hands-on in the palenque. This has created a moving scene of three generations of one family working together, and it has fulfilled the fathers’ promises to pass on these traditions to their children. ⁣
