Master mezcaleros in the hills east of Volcano Popocatépetl have been using bull hides as fermentation vessels for centuries. After a stint in the USA as a gardener, Abdias De La Luz Rodriguez returned to his homeland of Puebla to study the liquid wisdom of his aging father. Years later, Abdias works with bull hides, a coral tree trunk still neck, and other techniques his ancestors applied to craft Lucero’s Poblano expressions.
