In the heart of Mexico, where the sun kisses the agave fields and tradition flows like a river, a unique story unfolds – the story of Wild Common. Skip to content, and embark on a journey through spirits that transcend time and bring people together.
Their Story Begins: Nestled in the spirit of tradition, Wild Common emerges as a beacon of additive-free tequila and mezcal. Founded by Andy Bardon, a National Geographic Photographer and adventurer, the brand is a culmination of their respect for what they put into their bodies and what they give back to the world.
While capturing the beauty of Jalisco, Mexico, Andy meets the Rosales family, whose roots in tradition date back to 1904. Together, they envision crafting the cleanest expression of tequila, a spirit that will not only honor tradition but also connect communities for the common good.
Elements That Define Them: Wild Common stands on three pillars – Tradition, Community, and the Land. Passed on over generations, their spirits are crafted with gratitude and an unwavering commitment to preserving culture. Born from their shared appreciation of additive-free spirits, a life of adventure, and a common purpose, their community is a testament to the spirit of togetherness. Every decision they make is purposeful, sustainably conscious, responsible, transparent, and regenerative.
Meet the Makers: At the heart of their story are the master distillers – El Cascahuin and Maestro Velasco. The Rosales family of Cascahuin, with traditions dating back to 1904, creates some of the finest tequila on earth. Guided by the watchful eye of Master Distiller Don Salvador Rosales Torres, they join hands with Wild Common to share their legacy with a new generation of conscious consumers.
In the realm of mezcal, they partner with Maestro Velasco and his small-batch, artesanal spirits. Sourced from different rural communities in Mexico, each expression is a unique journey guided by time-honored methods and a commitment to purity. No industrial processes or additives, just the essence of tradition in every drop.
Their Community, Their Mission: Beyond being a tequila and mezcal brand, Wild Common is a community of storytellers, adventurers, athletes, and friends. Living their values with enthusiasm, they seek to make a positive impact on their communities and the world. Their mission is clear – to share additive-free agave spirits that honor tradition, community, and the land. They bring people together to share moments today while actively contributing to a better tomorrow.
Join them on this remarkable journey. Raise a glass, say "Salud," and be part of Wild Common – where spirits transcend boundaries, and communities unite for the common good.
Wild Common tequila reposado is lightly aged in used American bourbon barrels. This resting process yields notes of cooked agave, fresh roasted pecans, and raw honey. Building off the incredible foundation of the tequila blanco, master distiller Salvador Rosales Trejo - aka “Chava”, has shown finesse and mastery in balancing these complex aromas and flavors.
