Oaxaca, Mexico
Erstwhile Mezcal is a boutique agave spirits importer out of Brooklyn, NY founded by Yuan Ji and Kevin J. Brown. Their focus is to advocate for small, independent, family-owned producers who lack representation outside of their local markets, and bring them into the international distillate scene they so deserve. They work closely with their partners to assist them in guiding the complicated process of export... Covering expenses related to attorneys, accountants, license fees - absorbing the producers marketing and supply chain costs as their own. Every bottle of Erstwhile sold creates jobs in the local Mexican communities, enabling the producers to hire their own team of local men and women.
