In 2005, Oaxacan Maestro Mezcalero Don Rodolfo López Sosa set out to produce a spirit of the highest quality, one that would rank his mezcal just a notch above the rest; a 100% natural, organic double distilled mezcal, fermented using pure spring water from the mountains high above his quaint, picturesque village of San Juan del Río. As he was continuously refining the quality of his mezcal, Don Rodolfo would sell small amounts to the townspeople. He always knew that he had the recipe for producing a special spirit, and so he began to traverse the furthest reaches of the state of Oaxaca, promoting his mezcal. Berlin resident Diego Moreno, a native of Monterrey, Mexico, was intrigued and indeed fascinated by the longstanding tradition of distilling handcrafted mezcal. Thus he traveled to Oaxaca in 2013. His task was to find a superior agave-based spirit. His extensive search ended when he encountered the López Sosa family. Almost immediately both knew they would love teaming up for a new project – Mezcal Atenco.
