Pelotón de la Muerte carries the spirit of Mexican independence on its label—the "Doliente Hidalgo" flag that once rallied "The Squadron of Death," a fierce group seeking justice for the executed priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. The crimson symbolizes his blood, the black cross mourns his memory, and the bones honor what remained after his 1811 execution and decapitation. This powerful imagery, immortalized in Juan O'Gorman's mural at Chapultepec Castle, celebrates the moment in 1821 when Hidalgo's head was finally reunited with his body for a proper funeral. Sip this joven mezcal and taste the rebellion—a bold Maguey Criollo from Mazatlán, Guerrero that toasts to freedom fighters and the price of revolution.
