Felipe and Ageo Cortes
Felipe and his son Ageo are the 3rd and 4th generations of the Cortes family to produce mezcal in the
Miahuatlán District of Oaxaca, an area famous for its abundance and diversity of agave, and a strong
tradition of distilling. They are related to the neighboring Ramos family via Felipe’s wife (Ageo’s mother),
Cesilia, whose sister Cleotilde is married to Victor.
Though father and son work side-by-side, batch codes ending in FC signify the cuts, and final composition
were done by Felipe, and batch codes ending in AC signify the cuts and composition were done by Ageo.
