Many producers in Sonora risked their lives to make their Bacanora mezcal. For reasons that are still murky, Bacanora production was banned in Sonora, Mexico for 77 years. Anyone caught distilling agave pias (hearts) were hanged or imprisoned. But these brave, committed men persevered until the ban was lifted in 1992.
