In the sacred heart of the Aztec world, where the sun rises and sets in vibrant hues over the mighty city of Tenochtitlan, there exists a figure of both adoration and mystery—Mayahuel, the goddess of agave. She is not merely the keeper of fertility and harvest, but the embodiment of life’s dualities—creation and destruction, nourishment and intoxication. Her essence is woven into every sip of Dos Gabachos mezcal, her spirit flowing through the agave plant’s heart, giving life and power to those who partake.

Mayahuel’s connection to the agave runs deeper than mere cultivation; it is through her blood that the plant thrives, its spiky leaves reaching toward the heavens, its heart a sacred source of both sustenance and festivity. As the goddess of the maguey, Mayahuel is the keeper of life’s intoxicating pleasures, but with this gift comes the balance of her own virtues and vices.

Mayahuel is known for her beauty, her fertility, and her ability to nurture the earth. She is honored as a protector of life, bringing prosperity to the land through the agave’s sacred nectar. Her virtues reflect her role as a mother, a creator, and a protector. She gives without hesitation—providing the agave, nourishing the people with its sweet, life-giving spirit. Her love for the earth is boundless, and her loyalty to those she cares for is unwavering. When Mayahuel embraces you, she bestows her generosity, her nurturing spirit, and her strength to weather even the harshest storms.

But Mayahuel is not without her darker side. In the depths of her power lies a well of unchecked passion, a thirst for freedom that can border on reckless abandon. Her vices are reflected in the very nature of the agave itself—the intoxicating spirit that flows from it is both a gift and a curse. When consumed in excess, it can lead to a loss of control, a descent into wildness, and a disconnection from the world around her. Mayahuel's own dark side is one of excess—excessive love, excessive passion, excessive indulgence. It is this aspect of herself that gives birth to her 400 children—the rabbits who embody the stages of drunkenness.

The 400 rabbits are not mere creatures; they are the manifestation of Mayahuel’s inner world—each one representing a different facet of her personality, a stage of the drunken dance between pleasure and chaos. Some of her children are gentle, bringing joy and laughter to the world, while others are more mischievous or even destructive, feeding off the excesses of indulgence. The rabbits symbolize the infinite degrees of intoxication, from blissful euphoria to the darker edges of excess, where all control is lost.

Among these 400, there are those who show the true heart of Mayahuel’s virtues—compassion, bravery, loyalty—but there are also those whose vices lead them astray, indulging in destructive behaviors, giving in to jealousy, rage, or despair. These traits are all part of the goddess’s complex nature. Just as agave can heal and harm, Mayahuel’s virtues and vices are inextricably linked, reminding us of the delicate balance between light and shadow that exists within all of us.

And this is why Mayahuel looks over Dos Gabachos Mezcal. In each bottle, she ensures that the sacred agave spirit remains pure, protecting it from the shadows that seek to corrupt its essence. She watches over the mezcal to guard its drinkers, ensuring that only those who approach it with respect and balance can unlock its true power. She keeps the evil forces at bay, guiding the way for those who seek to honor her spirit and the agave’s gifts.

As you sip Dos Gabachos Mezcal, feel Mayahuel’s protective embrace. Her spirit stirs within you, balancing your virtues and vices, and allowing you to walk the path of harmony. Will you embrace her gifts and honor her presence, or will you be tempted by the darker side of indulgence? The choice is yours, as Mayahuel’s power lives on in every bottle, ever watchful, ever protective.
