The legend of Eduardo “Lalo” Angeles is growing quickly. His mezcals have been highly sought after in Oaxaca for many years and his personal brand, Lalocura, is quickly becoming one of the more well-acclaimed mezcals available on the international market. I’m not sure when Tyler and I first heard of Lalo. His name came up when visiting other producers in Lalo’s town of Santa Catarina Minas. We’d seen his name on some amazing older bottles from other brands. I also recall a few years ago at Mezcaloteca in Oaxaca City, asking a bartender who their favorite producer was. “There’s this guy named Lalo in Minas,” she’d told me. “He’s a living legend.”
