Welcome back to Wheels, Deals and Meals! This week, we sit down at Amalfi Restaurant with Manuel Leyshon, the driving force behind Loco Tequila. From his early days in Mexico City to navigating the global spirits market, Manuel shares the story of how he helped build a brand that defies the status quo.

In this episode, we dive into the "Loco" philosophy—a commitment to quality, pure agave, and a process that respects the land (terruño) above all else.
