Portrait of Elsa Arguelles Sanchez
i. Biography
Elsa Arguelles Sanchez is one of the Maestras Mezcaleras behind Scorpion Mezcal/Alacrán Mexican Spirits, alongside Douglas French and Erika Aquino Aguilar. These sources associate her with mezcal production in Oaxaca, including the San Agustín de las Juntas village reference on limited-edition bottlings, but they do not provide enough biographical detail to confirm a fuller personal history without risking identity conflation.
