We just released the trailer for Capitán Palomo, our newest documentary—and we want you to see it.
Produced entirely by the PKGD team, this film is not another mezcal documentary.
It won’t teach you how mezcal is made.
It will show you why it matters.
Watch the trailer below. The full film premieres June 12 as a YouTube Premiere on our PKGD channel.

This One’s Personal
Capitán Palomo tells the story of Carlos Méndez, the man behind Palomo Mezcal.
But it’s not a biography. It’s a look at what it takes to make something honest.
Shot in Matatlán, Oaxaca—the heart of mezcal country—this film follows a journey of resistance, return, and transformation. You’ll see the land, the palenque, the fire, the faces—but what stays with you is the feeling.
You’ll walk away seeing mezcal differently.
Not as a trend. Not as a product.
As a reflection of the person who makes it.
Why We Made This
We’ve worked with Carlos for years. We’ve seen him evolve—not just as a producer, but as a human being.
We wanted to tell that story. Fully. With care. With respect. And with pride.
This documentary was made entirely in-house by PKGD. Every frame, every sound, every edit. We believe in Carlos, and we believe this story will move you the way it moved us.
Watch the Trailer. Set the Reminder.
The full film premieres June 12 on YouTube.

PKGD reached 63 million views and nearly 230K followers in 2025, scaling from niche brands into a digital media ecosystem built on consistency and audience trust.
A year of growth and clarity, building intentional brand identities across agave spirits—labels, systems, and stories that evolve within a shared ecosystem.
Knowing the process isn't the same as crafting the spirit. In a market of "sourced" brands, true essence lives in the weathered hands and generational knowledge of producer-owned brands that value authenticity.
Agave has been Mexico’s cultural pillar since pre-Hispanic times. Today, spirits like tequila and mezcal represent more than identity; they sustain a global industry that generates international trade and heritage.
